Unusual concepts in art usually create unique masterpieces. Made ‘Romi’ Sukadana implements these concepts in his paintings. Made “Romi” Sukadana was born in Denpasar, January 22 1973, and paints images of Balinese classic icons, like the Barong, Rangda, Dancers, and others heritage characters over realistic-cardboard-paintings on canvas side by side with product images and anything already printed on the cardboard medium. Through his art, he depicts those visual phenomenon presented together in eclectic compositions. Romi has realized that there are so many unique and exciting things hiding within the cardboard. In his previous exhibitions called “Hidden Connection I & II”, in Denpasar and Jakarta a few months ago, Romi does not only have the image of the product on the surface of a piece of cardboard, but also relates the condition of the product being packaged inside. Besides presenting a visual feast, this artwork can also be a medium for which it is able to expose the consciousness and investigate the values and meanings sometimes hidden from the naked eye. The exhibition at Gardenia Boutique Guest House & Coffee Shop is on-going until June 2013. At the moment some of his latest artworks are exhibited at Mayya Gallery, Frankfurt, Germany, entitled “The Hidden Code” together with others Balinese fine artists; Made Bayak & Jango Paramartha.
