Janger Dance-Inspired Suar Wood Wall Sculpture from Bali, "Kecak Janger"
Inspired by the cultural tradition of Janger dancing, Nyoman Indrawati Subrata of the Subrata Family creates this stunning wall sculpture. Working with a single piece of suar wood, she hand carves the image of two dancers in elaborate headdresses who touch cheeks. Popular with Balinese youths, Janger is typically performed by ten people who are divided into two groups: the female dancers, known as Janger, and the male dancers, known as Kecak.
The artisan carries on the extraordinary art work of her late father, Nyoman Subrata.

"Third artwork by members of the Subrata family"
I purchased my first Subrata Barong mask 25 years ago, and it guards the door of the family house since that time. When I established my own consulting business and needed a work apartment I went to Novica to see if I could find another piece by the Subrata Paterfamilias, Nyoman Subrata, who carved our old Barong mask and also a beautiful mer-person sculpture that I have at work. I was sad to see that he had left us, but delighted to see that another family member carries on his legacy. Very happy with this new Barong, who watchfully guards the door to my work residence.
