Positive by Pembayun
Lot 405
In the haunting strokes of Pembayun’s brush lies a world veiled in
ethereal blue. In his latest masterpiece, “Positive,” the Indonesian
painter transports viewers into the depths of a surreal realm where
the faint figure stands as a solitary witness to the vastness of the
cold, cerulean expanse.
At first glance, the canvas appears as a sea of tranquility,
a seemingly endless stretch of blue hues that evoke a sense of
calmness and serenity. Yet, upon closer inspection, subtle details
emerge, hinting at a deeper, more profound narrative.
In the foreground, a faint figure materializes, its form shrouded in
ambiguity. Is it a solitary wanderer lost in the vastness of the
unknown, or perhaps a symbolic representation of humanity’s
insignificance amidst the grandeur of the cosmos? Pembayun
leaves the interpretation to the observer, inviting them to ponder
the enigmatic presence that traverses the canvas.
