About the artwork
In this painting of bulls, Tjokorda creates an impressive formation to illustrate the idea of a leader. Impasto is thickly applied to suggest the vigorous motion of running bulls as each powerful stride shows the prowess of a leader leading its pack. Therefore, the abstract background complements the figurative motion of the bull.
