Indonesian art movement
The Indonesian art movement encompasses a diverse range of artistic expressions that reflect the country's rich cultural heritage and history. It includes traditional forms such as batik and wayang kulit (shadow puppetry), as well as modern and contemporary art influenced by global trends. Artists often draw inspiration from Indonesia's natural landscapes, social issues, and spiritual beliefs.
In the 20th century, the movement gained momentum with the emergence of groups like Seni Rupa and Gerakan Seni Rupa Baru (New Art Movement). These groups sought to challenge conventional art practices and promote innovative techniques, leading to a vibrant art scene that continues to evolve today.
