"His
creations are quite exotic
to look at, traditional
but without academic influence.
His works have a frighteningly
macabre feel, his animal
carvings eerie,
his figurative sculptures
showing strange and frightening
forms, as well as beasts
whose features are indistinct"
The detritus logs and
roots commonly found
along the river's edge
have a unique artistic

I Ketut Mario (Balinese
Maestro) |

The
improvisational dance that came
out of his response to the music
that day later became known as
Kebyar Duduk, or, if danced with
trompong, Kebyar Trompong.These
creations soon stirred a revolution
in Balinese dance ...The
foreign tongue refers to him as
Mario, and yet the naine of this
artist, who was born in 1897,
was actually I Ketut Marya.
Passing away on March 22, 1968,
this dancer had a somewhat slight
build, but he made a big name

Indonesia too.
