50 Years Journey – The Golden Age of Wayan Apel Hendrawan
Apel Hendrawan is a painter, sculptor, tattoo artist, environmental activist and Balinese Hindu priest. A life journey that has seen him go through a battle with the forces of dark and light. A drug overdose that saw him incarcerated in the Bangli Asylum for the insane. Apel’s creative journey led him through experimentation until he eventually found his ‘voice’. A settled, more mature condition that reflects his state of grace.
This event is a celebration of the life journey and creative legacy of Wayan Apel Hendrawan, spanning half a century. Through a powerful art installation and the launch of his personal biography, this retrospective unveils a story of struggle, transformation, and the search for meaning through art.
