Jason Monet’s Sink
This is an older sculpture of Jason’s, it is the sink faucet in his bathroom. This is so typical of Jason Monet, to take an every day thing and turn it into a piece of art. Currently, he is building a new home on the other side of Ubud. This home is made of bamboo to promote the use of renewable resources. While I will miss this sink I am looking forward to seeing the creative touches on his new house.

Jason Monet Louise’s Bike
Ok so this painting isn’t exactually from Bali. It was painted in Australia. Still, I put it here because when spending time with the Monet family this is what you get. An excess of beautiful color and wildly creative accessories. I love this bike and I am told it looks just like it. This may be my favorite Jason Monet that I have never personally scene. Unfortunately, I don’t have a larger version, I apoligize that it can not be clicked into larger glory.

Just before the ceremony is slightly surreal at times. Everything is wrapped in sarongs while braids of leaves hang from the parameter of every structure. Soon everyone will arrive in their beautiful formal clothing. This may have been a wedding. The courtyard is a communal area that these people share with Jason. The next painting is the same day from a different angle after the guests have arrived. Notice on the bottom center, Jason’s dog.

In 2000 F. Malik began painting in black pen on white canvas because he saw black and white as the fundamental color of all painting. Also, he is influenced by the Hindu Philosophy of white and black dividing the balance of good and evil. With time he introduced the colors green and brown. When asked why he added these two colors Malik explained, ”Green because it is the color of nature and has a heeling power of the soul. Brown because it is the color of many antique things”
Malik’s painting style centers around the lush scenery of Bali. He likes to paint temples, people and most notorious is his landscapes of the Balinese rice fields and coast. His paintings are extremely realistic. His technique involves meticulously placing fine ink line upon line for unbelievable realism. His style is like a Georges Seurat style pointillism but with hair like lines. Virtually, he has pioneered ‘lineillism’.
Due to the medium, Malik can not make mistakes. “Other painters can correct their mistakes. I always have to be sure because I can never erase. I have to start all over again.” Ink is not forgiving!
Since late 2005 Malik has been painting with one eye. His vision was damaged by a shuttle cock to the eye during a badmitten game. Doctors have given him a 50% chance of regaining his vision in that eye with surgery. At this point he has not decided to undergo the operation.

Many artists like to throw out the word “multimedia,” to describe their work. Jesse Miller by contrast, defines the term.
Jesse’s art is a combination of many medium and artistic experiences. He has worked professionally since his school days in every imaginable medium: clothing, posters, CD covers, chalk, commercial logos, murals, surfboards, wood carving and leaded glass.
These various creative journeys are the roots and inspiration for Jesse’s development as an artist. For the past ten years this creative adventure has been finding its way onto canvas.
Jesse paints meticulously spending weeks on end perfecting his bold oversized works. Most recently, his ideas have exploded off the canvas, as they sprawl effortlessly through hand carved wood and sparkling leaded glass. The creativity flows so cleanly from medium to medium that the energy continues right into the room.
When asked how he developed his unique style and personal vision of fantasy Jesse stated, “I don’t like normalness.”
