The history of
Balinese wood carving can be traced back hundreds of years Balinese art,
as a whole, is of Hindu-Javanese origin. The art forms there began as a
result of artisans from the Majapahit
Kingdom who expanded to the Balinese territory in the 13th century. The
village of Kamasan, Klungkung became the center for classical Balinese
art during the sixteenth century, and remained as such until the
twentieth century, when new kinds of art developed in the region.
Balinese wood carving, as an artform, underwent a period of
transformation in the mid-twentieth century, roughly during the 1940’s.
The main art center then shifted to Ubud and its surrounding villages.
However, each independent village region is known for its own respective
form of art. While Ubud and Batuan are synonymous with paintings, Celuk
is known for gold and silver arts, Batubulan is known for stone
carvings, and Mas is the place to go for wood carvings.
