HELP identifying
« on: August 18, 2013, 09:02:40 pm »
This beautiful piece of Balinese art is one of my favourite pieces.I think it is 1960's. No artist name but very talented. someone told me there is a village that this TYPE of art is painted but no more info found. My girlfriend who passed away told me to remember her whenever i saw a butterfly. I saw this 2 weeks later at a garage sale and started to cry as it had fish and butterflies.The fish represent my family who are fisherpeople.So incredible.Such a lovely piece.

Ah, I see your from the other side of the pond as BigWullie would say. Are there any signatures anywhere that you notice? Back or front?

yes from the land down under. No artist that i can see. Maybe under the frame.Our country is only just over 200 years old so antiques here are mainly enlish  and european that others have bought back fron O/s trips.I have been an avid collector 4 over 30 years.Vast range of goodies.plus I buy and sell on ebay
i have had this for 3 years

No glass front but it appears to be a type of felt or something.

Is it painting on velvet?  That was popular in the 60's to 70's!

https://www.google.com.au/search?q=art+from+Keliki&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=uBMUUquPBqqSiQfZ9IG4BA&ved=0CFUQsAQ&biw=1846&bih=995
Seems I googled art in Bali and remembered there is a village that specializes in art.So here is Keliki art. Now just find the artist might prove more difficult

You might look through this site and see the traditional Balinese textiles !! I am not sure yours is from Bali,,perhaps another area of Indonesia !!
