Burung Hantu is the artist's powerful translation of an anthropomorphic owl creature in motion. Anak Agung succeeds in bringing the winged creature to life through a captivating orchestration of vivid red colours and feisty palette. It looks as if it is walking on top of clouds in an ethereal world. Anak Agung Gede Oka Sudarsana was born in Padang Tegal Ubud, Bali in 1963. He is the grandson of Anak Agung Gde Sobrat, the famous Balinese painter, member of the Pita Maha Group. He was trained by his grandfather since his childhood. In the early years he was painting in a traditional Balinese style. Later in life he developed his own signature way of painting. Anak Agung brings his subjects to life using motifs and strong colors, forming a bridge between the cultures of the East and the West. He had exhibitions in Denmark in 2001 and 2003. His paintings were sold by Sotheby's, Singapore in their semi-annual international auctions. His works are included in many collections all over the world.
