The man with the flared messy hair called Nasirun. He is a famous painter in Indonesia, esp. Jogja. He’s got 10 houses in Jogja. I was in one of em with a Japanese friend to do an interview about a painting art last year. A man next to Nasirun is a curator. The house is huge and it’s got art works in every part of it. We were really surprised to know that he’s got another 9!!!!! He’s been around in many countries as well to do the exhibition. As we asked them how come he has many houses like that, he said it was the result of selling painting works. WOW!!! His paintings belong to the surrealism with traditional Javanese sense, i.e wayang. Most of em were painted in very big size. There are other well known artists in Jogja it self. As we know the image of an artist is like a bohemian , carefree, and perhaps away from establishment and wealthiness. Well, it was a first thought come up in my mind as I saw Nasirun and other artists. They keep being modest so far anyway. I think wat Nasirun does to provide himself and the family is a good way. All he has to do is just to express wat’s on his mind in painting or other artworks. He doesn’t have to deal with a legal employment contract shit, or any complicated works. Nor he has to keep waiting for ,say, a month or a week just to get paid. It’s koooollll…….i call it as a pure way to get money. By selling stuffs. In this case, paintings. All he’s got is a wild mind and an originality. It’s a “safe” kinda job!! Compared to those small brains pervert who did corruption to provide their own big belly!!! Nevertheless, this phenomenon of painting artists get themselves rich is quite controversial. the inspiration, motives, and all those abstract things are become questioned. Do they paint for money or is it because of a sole art feeling they got in their mind and heart. To speak in a reality, who does ever care of it though? Who does ever care of the money are gonna spend to? Who does ever care of one’s feeling and thought about artworks?no one could guess of any other people thought. Maybe the artist deserves it. The money they got for the enjoyment and excitement they create towards other people’s feeling. Afterall, the buyer gives their money voluntarily aight, without any force to do it.
