Students of the Fine Arts Study Program, Faculty of Fine Arts and Design (FSRD), Institut Seni Indonesia Bali (ISI Bali), presented their final project works for the Odd Semester of the 2025/2026 Academic Year in the art exhibition entitled “Tuai Tabur.” The exhibition was held from 26 to 30 January 2026 at Nata Citta Art Space (N-CAS), ISI Bali. Featuring a wide range of artworks across diverse media and displayed in an exploratory manner, the exhibition offered an emotionally evocative experience through 37 distinct narratives.
The “Tuai Tabur” exhibition was officially opened by the Rector of ISI Bali, Prof. Dr. Wayan ‘Kun’ Adnyana, S.Sn., M.Sn., on Monday (26 January). The opening ceremony was also attended by the Vice Rectors, the Dean and Vice Dean of FSRD ISI Bali, the Coordinator of the Fine Arts Study Program, and lecturers of the Fine Arts Study Program.
The title “Tuai Tabur,” coined by one of the exhibiting students, Ashlesha Barde, is interpreted as a “metaphor for a long journey,” in which she and her peers have “planted ideas, nurtured processes, and harvested results,” before subsequently “sowing new seeds” for future stages of artistic creation. This metaphor is clearly reflected in the exhibition, which features works by Fine Arts students from the 2022 cohort. “What we gain through the campus experience—cross-study program learning, followed by independent study or internships outside the institution, and culminating in the final project—does not represent an end, but rather a step forward,” stated Made Krisna Danendra, Chair of the “Tuai Tabur” Exhibition Committee.

Janice Josephine Wartju, Secretary of the “Tuai Tabur” Exhibition Committee, explained that her cohort was strongly driven toward artistic exploration. Since the first semester sketching classes, lecturers encouraged students to use tools and materials beyond standard drawing paper and Chinese ink; even wood was introduced as a sketching medium. Moreover, their engagement with partner institutions during the ISI Bali Berdampak Program further motivated them to develop their artistic capacities. As one of the students from outside Bali, Janice initially felt hesitant, as Balinese culture is deeply rooted in artistic traditions. However, over time, she and other non-local students were able to adapt, contributing new perspectives, colors, and identities. “People may think Fine Arts is just painting or sculpture. It is not—Fine Arts is far more than that,” Janice emphasized.
Janice and Krisna exemplify distinct modes of expression and artistic approaches. Through cross-study program learning, Krisna discovered his expressive potential in woodcut printmaking techniques. He subsequently sought a compatible partner for his Independent Study under the ISI Bali Berdampak Program and collaborated with BHG, where he learned various manual printing methods. After nine months of experimentation, he aimed to narrate the speed and fragility of contemporary digital information through traditional printmaking techniques. “I want to address forms of memory, both printed and digitally shared, where today negative phenomena such as scams and doxing can easily occur,” Krisna explained.
Janice, who underwent drawing therapy during her childhood, became interested in further developing this practice at the university level. At ISI Bali, she felt she gained extensive insights into engaging with tradition. During the initial phase of her Independent Study under the ISI Bali Berdampak Program, she explored digital art practices in collaboration with artist Gangga Saputra, but encountered issues related to plagiarism. Under the supervision of Prof. Dr. I Wayan Kun Adnyana, S.Sn., M.Sn., and Prof. Dr. Drs. I Wayan Karja, MFA, she was advised to create larger-scale, manual, and more exploratory works. Consequently, Janice chose to highlight aspects of Chinese tradition with which she was more familiar. “I am actually more interested in tradition than in digital media. I want to inform audiences that tradition is not as negative as it is sometimes perceived, especially since Chinese culture contains many meaningful narratives,” Janice shared.
Janice and Krisna expressed their hope that, through collaboration with their colleague Made Chandra Putra Adnya, who served as the exhibition display director, their final project works could be presented from alternative perspectives to a broader audience. They also advised junior students and future cohorts not to hesitate in exploring their artistic practices and to carefully evaluate criticism and feedback received from lecturers and partners. It is hoped that a strong sense of collegiality among students will continue to grow, fostering innovation and broader networking. “Do not become independent before undertaking independent study,” Krisna remarked.
Finally, both Janice and Krisna acknowledged that they learned extensively from their academic journey at ISI Bali and expressed their hope to continue learning in the future. The perspectives on art and culture they acquired were broad and enriching. The experiences shared by Janice and Krisna demonstrate the engaging and dynamic nature of studying in the Fine Arts Study Program at ISI Bali.

Mahasiswa Program Studi Seni Murni, Fakultas Seni Rupa dan Desain (FSRD), Institut Seni Indonesia Bali (ISI BALI) unjuk karya tugas akhir semester Gasal 2025/2026 dalam Pameran Seni “Tuai Tabur”. Pameran ini berlangsung 26 – 30 Januari 2026 di Nata Citta Art Space (N-CAS), ISI BALI. Dengan berbagai macam karya, beragam media, serta dipajang secara eksploratif, pameran ini sangat menggugah perasaan dengan 37 macam cerita yang disuguhkan.
Pameran “Tuai Tabur” dibuka secara resmi oleh Rektor ISI BALI Prof. Dr. Wayan ‘Kun’ Adnyana, S.Sn., M.Sn., Senin (26/1). Pembukaan juga dihadiri jajaran Wakil Rektor, Dekan dan Wakil Dekan FSRD ISI BALI, Koordinator Program Studi Seni Murni dan Dosen-Dosen Program Studi Seni Murni.
“Tuai Tabur” yang ditulis oleh salah satu mahasiswa yang berpameran, Ashlesha Barde, melihat ini sebagai “metafora perjalanan panjang” dimana ia dan teman-teman sejawatnya telah “menanam ide, merawat proses, hingga memanen hasil” yang lalu dilanjutkan dengan “menabur kembali benih-benih baru” di proses penciptaan masing-masing perupa di tahap selanjutnya. Pameran yang berisikan mahasiswa Seni Murni angkatan 2022 ini dengan jelas memperlihatkan metafora ini. “Apa yang didapatkan lewat kampus, pengajaran lintas program studi, lanjut ke studi independen atau magang di luar, lalu tugas akhir – ini tidak sebagai akhir, tetapi untuk melangkah kedepannya juga,” ungkap Made Krisna Danendra, Ketua Panitia Pameran “Tuai Tabur”.

Janice Josephine Wartju, selaku Sekretaris Panitia Pameran “Tuai Tabur”, mengungkapkan bahwa teman-teman seangkatannya memang sangat terdorong dalam eksplorasi. Sejak pelajaran sketsa di semester pertama mereka diajarkan oleh dosen-dosennya untuk menggunakan alat dan bahan di luar kertas hvs dan tinta cina, bahkan kayu bisa digunakan untuk menyeket. Belum lagi dampak dari mitra dimana mereka menjalankan Program ISI BALI Berdampak, dari program ini ia dan teman-temannya ingin mengembangkan kemampuannya secara lebih lagi. Sebagai salah satu anak rantau di kelasnya, awalnya ia dan yang memiliki status yang sama, merasa ragu karena di Bali sangat nyeni, namun akhirnya mereka bisa mengikuti, menghadirkan warna dan identitas baru. “Orang-orang mungkin tahunya Seni Murni itu oh lukis, oh patung. Nggak kok, Seni Murni lebih dari itu!” Ungkap Janice.
Dari Janice dan Krisna saja, mereka memiliki cara ungkap yang berbeda serta memilih cara berkarya yang berbeda juga. Krisna yang saat menjalankan pengajaran lintas prodi akhirnya menemukan cara berekspresi lewat teknik cetak cukil. Ia lalu mencari mitra yang senada untuk Studi Independen Program ISI BALI Berdampak dan bertemu dengan BHG dimana ia mempelajari berbagai cara cetak manual. Dengan kesempatannya mencoba berbagai hal selama 9 bulan disana, ia ingin menceritakan tentang kecepatan serta kerapuhan informasi digital saat ini lewat berbagai teknik cetak manual. “Saya ingin mengangkat bentuk kenangan yang dicetak maupun yang dibagikan secara digital, dimana hari ini berbagai hal negatif bisa terjadi seperti scam dan doxing,” Krisna menjelaskan.
Janice yang masa kecilnya menjalankan terapi lewat menggambar menjadi tertarik untuk mengembangkan kemampuan ini lebih lanjut di jenjang kuliah. Di ISI BALI ia merasa mendapatkan banyak pelajaran dalam mengangkat tentang tradisi. Di awal Studi Independen Program ISI BALI Berdampak, ia mengembangkan cara berkarya secara digital bersama mitra perupa Gangga Saputra, namun menemukan potensi plagiarisme. Bimbingannya yang diberikan oleh Prof. Dr. I Wayan Kun Adnyana, S.Sn., M.Sn., dan Prof. Dr. Drs. I Wayan Karja, MFA, merujuk untuk membuat karya yang lebih besar secara manual serta eksploratif, dan akhirnya Janice memilih mengangkat sisi tradisi Tionghoa yang ia lebih kenal. “Sebenarnya saya lebih tertarik pada tradisi daripada digital juga, saya ingin memberitahu audiens bahwa tradisi itu tidak seburuk yang dipikirkan kok, ditambah budaya Tionghoa memiliki banyak cerita bermakna,” Janice berbagi.
Janice dan Krisna berharap dengan kolaborasi teman mereka, Made Chandra Putra Adnya, yang telah menjadi pengarah pemajangan atau display karya, dapat memperlihatkan sudut pandang yang berbeda terhadap hasil karya Tugas Akhir mereka kepada audiens yang lebih luas. Mereka juga berpesan pada adik tingkat dan mahasiswa baru kedepannya bahwa tidak ada yang salah dan janganlah ragu dalam eksplorasi karya serta pilahlah berbagai kritik dan saran yang diterima dari dosen maupun mitra. Diharapkan rasa guyub antar mahasiswa terus berkembang dalam inovasi dan berjejaring yang lebih luas lagi. “Janganlah independen dulu sebelum studi independen,” sebut Krisna.
Terakhir, Janice dan Krisna sama-sama merasa belajar banyak dari ISI BALI dan berharap kedepannya tidak berhenti belajar juga. Perspektif seni dan budaya yang didapatkan sangat luas. Pengalaman yang dibagikan Janice dan Krisna memperlihatkan betapa serunya belajar Program Studi Seni Murni di ISI BALI.
