‘Dance’ 1999

Sudargono

Oil on Canvas

Private Collection Costa Mesa, CA

My first purchase of fine art. I bought this in 2000 when I first traveled to Yogyakarta where I met Gono. Dance is a political statement speaking to the people of Indonesia. The reference is to the people who always have a dance or a ceremony to attend. Because of this, they are too busy to confront the government and its rampant corruption. Still a favorite purchase of mine!
