Selasar Sunaryo Art Space

I do not hold any credit to any of the artwork shown in this post / review. It ia merely an utmost admiration and appreciation to a few special arts that touched my imagination. This artspace is superbly mesmerizing. Didnt manage to visit Wot Batu due to time. I will come back!!!

Nestled in the expansive, open views of Dago Atas, Selasar Sunyaro Art Space offers a truly contemplative and serene escape from the bustle of Bandung. From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere is instantly calming, inviting visitors to slow down and immerse themselves in a unique blend of art and nature. One of the most striking aspects of Selasar Sunyaro is its seamless integration with the natural environment. The gallery doesn't just display art in nature; it feels like an organic extension of it. Even on a hot day, the pervasive tree shade provides a wonderfully cool atmosphere, making exploration a comfortable and delightful experience. This deep connection is immediately evident with the memorable "blue tree" that greets you upon entry, setting a captivating tone for what's inside. The blend of nature and art is masterful throughout the space. You'll find natural elements woven directly into the artworks, from integrated tree trunks forming part of installations to tree branches seemingly protruding directly from the walls. This organic approach extends to the gallery's design itself, which beautifully utilizes earthy colors and materials – think natural wood, clear glass, soothing greys, and warm browns, often punctuated by a surprising splash of red that adds a vibrant touch. The result is a space that feels deeply embedded in its surroundings. Selasar Sunyaro boasts an eclectic mix of installations, mixed media pieces, and paintings, reflecting the diverse talents of artists from Bandung and across Indonesia. The curation of the artworks is both thought-provoking and engaging, touching on a range of contemporary topics that invite reflection and discussion. With four distinct gallery spaces to explore, there's a rich variety of artistic expressions to discover. The staff at Selasar Sunyaro contribute significantly to the positive experience. Despite being primarily Bahasa speakers, they were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, going out of their way to explain the artworks, which was truly wonderful and appreciated. For those looking to extend their visit, a relaxing cafe and coffee space is also available, providing a pleasant spot to unwind and digest the artistic journey. I spent a very fulfilling two hours exploring Selasar Sunyaro and would highly recommend it to all art lovers. It's not just a gallery; it's an experience that nourishes the soul, offering a unique harmony between human creativity and the beauty of the natural world.

the place is very cool, when ordering tickets there was no queue at all, came on a weekend and there were quite a lot of visitors but it was also orderly. htm nya 45k dan itu udah bisa masuk 4 tempat, in the first place, there are quite a lot of explanations about the characters, and in the second place, there are paintings and there is also "sejuta mata" where you can take photos inside for 1 minute and you have to be alone, the third one is there are also paintings and behind it there is a library, and the last one is there are paintings too, seru poll sih kalo emg yg bnr² suka art, btw tema nya pasti ganti² ya :)

different art pieces and exhibits in different rooms. i'd appreciate it more if there were english translations in the art descriptions. this art space is a bit far to go to but gojek is always reliable so it was fine! ☻ there's also a cafe in the area once you're done with the exhibits, you can just chill and appreciate the views. i love the greeneries in this art gallery. I would recommend it for those who like art. there's an entrance fee of IDR45,000.

I saw an exhibition of Sadali’s work during my visit. It was nice, but I’m not very into abstract art and don’t really understand it. The wall texts didn’t help either. Why did they have to be so pretentiously written? Isn’t the point of written explanations to help people better understand the art? “Ditampilkan 4 kecenderungan visual dari kekaryaa Sadali, yang menyentuh ihwal transendensi itu.” What does that even mean? Plus, they were riddled with typos, better editors are needed! 🤣 I guess this type of art just isn’t for me. But there were several pieces that I liked; I think the purple painting on the purple wall was pretty. And I liked the room where they projected a Sadali-style geometric filter of people in it onto a wall. My favorite artwork in the exhibition ended up being of me. How very narcissistic, but then again, I think people like art they can relate to, and I can relate to me.

Selasar Sunaryo is an art space that combines nature and culture perfectly. This time, we’re visiting the 100th Sadali exhibition and the Revival Exhibition, featuring works created using aluminum plates as the main medium. Its location in the northern part of Dago adds a serene and refreshing vibe to the exhibition experience.

Great architecture, great artwork, super cozy ambience. A nice art gallery located in suburban of Bandung, quite far from downtown. It costs 25k/person for admission. What i like the most about this gallery is it highlights about its openness architecture, and its green open space as well. There is also a cafe there, i think it's so-so, but i love the vibe. Calming and relaxing. Supposed to be five stars, but when i went there, only the main room was open for public. Kinda disappointed, but still a great-remarkable visit anyway😊

Great place and ambience. Food taste was quite so so with the price they offer. Service is also ok. Cozy place for you to work or just to hangout with friends. There’s also a mini gallery which you can enter to see small exhibition.
