Maya Ubud Resort & Spa will present an exhibition of paintings by the Ubud-based artist Antonius Kho, June 20 - 30, 2004.
Born in Java, Antonius began studying art in 1977 under the guidance of the famous Indonesian artist Barli. In 1978 he studied batik design in Yogyakarta before continuing his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bandung. Leaving for Germany in 1985, he studied at Academy of Fine Arts FH Cologne. In 1998 Antonius Kho returned to his native Indonesia and settled in Ubud, Bali.
He has received a number of awards including a first-prize for "Mulen auf Liegestuhlen" from the FH Art Design Olivadenhof, Cologne in 1989. In 1998 he also received a first-prize honor for "Mask in Venice" at Art Addiction Annual in Venice, Italy.
Antonius uses materials such as paper, rags, and jute in creating his art. His techniques are a combination of painting, batik making, and collages' arrangement - all converging in a single presentation.
Antonius will be exhibiting more than 20 pieces of his art from June 20 to 30, 2004, at Maya Ubud Resort & Spa in Ubud.
