Wood sculpture, 'Immortal Dragon'

Ketut Taram depicts Naga, son of Gadru in a stunning suar wood sculpture. These dragons are immortal, the only survivors of 1,000 eggs laid by the Goddess Gadru. Despite their fearsome form, they are highly revered. They dwell in the dimension below the Earth-plane, where they wrap themselves around Bedawang Nala, the gigantic turtle who supports the world on his back.

Ketut Taram

"My name is Ketut Taram and I was born in the Gianyar regency, Bali, in 1967. I learned how to create my first sculpture from my older brother, Made Mudiawan. From 1975 until 1990 I worked primarily in suar wood. Then, from 1990 until 2000, I made the sculptures from sandalwood. Lately, I enjoy sculpturing with both.

"I began carving on my own in 1992; before I'd worked together with my older brother, saving until I had enough money to open my own workshop. There are five people working with me now.

"Balinese culture and tradition inspire my artwork. As the son of Wayan Kicen, a wood carver, it is easy and enjoyable for me to transfer my imagination into my work.

"I have participated in several exhibitions around Bali. Thank you Novica for promoting my artwork to the whole world. Through my art I do hope to provide a good life and a better future for my family, especially for my little child."

Customer Reviews of Ketut Taram

I received the Flying Dragon. I had missed out on the bidding of it on Ebay. But thankfully Novica let me know when the carving was available once more. The craftsmanship is superb and was packaged...
