Jalan Hang Tuah - Sanur, Denpasar - Bali Adrien-Jean Le Mayeurde Merpres (February 9, 1880 – May 31, 1958) was a Belgian painter from Brussels. He came to Bali at Singaraja by boat in 1932. He then stayed in Denpasar. Le Mayeur rented a house in banjar Kelandis, Denpasar, where he got acquainted with 15-year-old legong dancer, Ni Nyoman Pollok, who later on became Le Mayeur's model for his paintings. A number of Le Mayeur's Bali works using Ni Pollok as model were exhibited in Singapore for the first time in 1933, which turned to be a very successful exhibition and made him more widely known. Returning from Singapore, Le Mayeur bought a piece of land at Sanur beach and built a house. At this house, which was also Le Mayeur's studio, Ni Pollok with her two friends worked every day as models. The beauty and splendid figure of Ni Pollok had made Le Mayeur enjoy his stay in Bali. At first he intended to stay only for 8 months, but later on he decided to stay in the i...

Both of his parents were Spanish, a fact that Blanco believed linked him geographically and spiritually to Miro and Salvador Dali. His father settled in Manila during the Spanish - American War, where he attained prominence as a physician. Blanco was educated at the American Central School in Manila. During his high school years he loved the arts, literature and language classes but struggled in scientific subjects. It is no wonder that he spoke six languages - Spanish, French, English, Tagalog, Indonesian and a bit of Balinese. After completing high school in Manila, Blanco studied at the National Academy of Art in New York under Sidney Dickinson. During those early formative years, Blanco concentrated on the human form, fascinated...

Jl. Raya Ubud Po Box 215, Ubud, Gianyar, Bali 80571 Phone: +62-361-975136 Fax: +62-361-975136 Email: info@mpl-ubud.com Web: http://www.mpl-ubud.com/ When the high quality of Balinese art became worldly recognized, more and more Balinese artworks disappeared to other parts of Indonesia and foreign countries. Thus, the fear among the Balinese people, and also Rudolf Bonnet (a Dutch painter, 1895-1978), raised that the most precious art would be lost forever and would never come back to its origin. Another need among the artists was to improve their skills without losing their own identity as Balinese artists. 1936 The above mentioned developments were enough for Rudolf Bonnet together with Tjokorda Gde Agung Sukawati (the former Prince of Ubud, 1910-1978) and his brother, Tjokorda Gde Raka Sukawati and the famous painter to alter and shape a foundation in 1936, called "Pita Maha". This foundation was to represent around 125 members in overseas market through e...

The early John Hardy pieces grew out of four traditional Balinese jewelry-making techniques: rantai (woven chain); tenun (woven mesh); jawan (granulation); and ukiran (cut work). Master jeweler Werner Bellezer developed superbly engineered clasps and introduced modern technical solutions to make the jewelry more comfortable and durable. In 1990 Head Designer Guy Bedarida joined the firm to develop the Bali design studio, bringing the traditions of haute joaillerie and introducing the techniques of fine jewelry illustrations. He works with a team of highly skilled craftsmen, from illustrators to wax-carvers and silver and goldsmiths. Artisans in Thailand, experts in the art of gemstone cutting and setting, also bring the knowledge of generations to the making of John Hardy jewelry. At John Hardy, design creativity flourishes and evolves in this partnership.
