THE ART OF SCULPTURE
WOOD carving handicrafts can be found at many places in Bali.
However, the center is at Mas village, Ubud sub district, Gianyar. The
village nestled in the area of international tourist resort of Ubud has
been famous for producing sculptures and masks from the past until these
days. It occurs at strategically location at tourist routes. From
Denpasar, it is only about 20 km and about 10 km from Gianyar.
Wooden handicrafts produced by the residents have made the village
famous as a cultural village. Aside from sculptures and carvings, the
village also has a relatively classical art. Along the road at the
village, visitors will encounter a row of art shops functioned to market
their products, ranging from traditional, abstract and modern style
handicrafts.
This Artistic countryside owns the long history root. The result of
wood carving art in this village owns the immeasurable and wide
dimension like idol for the devoting (arca idol), representative
dimension of everyday Balinese social society life (farmer, fisherman,
worker, intellectual, merchant etc), the abstract dimension as existing
of actor imagination which is listening carefully of reality, dynamics
and life philosophy.
The villagers are same as villagers at other
tourism countryside in Bali that have also experienced the
transformation from agrarian society to the crafting society. Even
nowadays, it is continued to service society from commerce service until
levying service of the souvenir for overseas and domestic tourist.
