About the artwork

Tjokorda Bagus Wiratmaja's painting is a visceral depiction of untamed power, embodied by a herd of bulls in dynamic motion. The canvas pulsates with energy, the bulls' muscular forms rendered with loose, expressive brushstrokes that capture their raw strength. They surge across the picture plane, their movement suggested by the swirling lines and textured paint. Each bull possesses a distinct character, its posture and expression hinting at a wild, untamed spirit. The colour palette is intense and dramatic, dominated by fiery reds and deep blacks. These colours aren't merely descriptive; they become symbolic, representing the bulls' ferocity and the untamed forces of nature.
