I Wayan Sandika and Wayan Sudarna Putra 
I Wayan Sudarna Putra "Si Buruk Rupa" (the bad face) 2012. 120x90cm acryl on canvas (5 panel)
Stunning self portraits of I Wayan Sudarna Putra, pressed to a mirror or glass plate, he shows uncensored his different faces, calling it cynical Bad Faces. Wayan Sudarna (born 1976 in Ubud) is one of the young Balinese/indonesian artists who wonders to question 'who am I', 'what are my inner motives', and dares to show the not always flattering answers. See interview with Wayan Sudarna

I Wayan Sudarna Putra

I Wayan Sandika "Black on White" 2012, 90x140cm acryl on canvas

I Wayan Sandika (Bongkasa, Bali, 1978) newest work 
is about the relation between parents and children. Sharp, critical about busy parents, single (female) parent more obsessed with herself than with the babies, and neglect or even abuse of children like the smoking baby, a reference to the well-known recent You Tube movie of the smoking baby in bath tub.
