"This lavishly illustrated and authoriative volume introduces the works and ideas of the most promising artists of the region. Southeast Asia is on the verge of entering the international art scene. Steeped in a rich heritage of religious and secular ats and crafts, painters and sculptors have begun to explore forms and fucntions borrowed from Western cultural traditions. And yet, as this book clearly demosntrates, contemporary Southeast Aisan art has its own special qualitites, blending unique interpretations of Western concepts within a vibrant ethnic context. The texts in this book follow each artists' concept from idea to form and explore how concepts are conveyed within the artforms themselves. The authors also consider the techniques and technical skills employed in creating the artworks of the different regions." - book jacket |
