Description
Spirit of Legong Series LE by ManButur Suantara.
My memories of the Legong dance.. growing up I see a lot of paintings of a dancer in costume. I tried to create a photograph of the dance that is like a painting.. but still has the spirit and movement of the dance..
ManButur had hoped to capture this dance like the age old paintings of his memories. They were paintings of dancers in a static pose. He wished to create photographs like that of the painting but one that captured the spirit of the dance. The Spirit of Legong, a dance of Bali.
Without technical acumen, this does not happen. At least no so beautifully. His images capture the rhythm, they capture the graceful movements, the dramatic and controlled facial expressions. They somehow show the varying tempos of the Legong.
Spirit of Legong LE displays the lyrical poetic beauty of ManButur Suantara’ fine art photography. Explore Collections at Sawidji Studio.
