Dewa Putu Toris Gallery — Attraction in Bali

Its a good thing it was recommended by our tour guide/driver. According to him , the spirit of artist lives on the paintings which I really agree. A real art should be like that. We were greeted by the grandson of Dewa Putu and he kindly showed us an artist in process of painting art using oil. There’s a kind guide, sorry for forgetting his name showed us more painting in gallery. The more exquisite and renowned the artist is, the more expensive the paintings are.

They have huge collections from abstract to expressionist. The prices are negotiable as well and they accept US credit cards. I took home this piece with real sand on it. Its simple but striking and still life oil in cardboard. I met dewa putu toris in person and he is very humbled.

When you’re in Bali and love paintings , its a must you take a look into...

Some looked reproduced and many were not to our liking but we managed to leave with 2 pieces that we liked. Will require some negotiation but owner...

Big house gallery with lots of original artwork that was nice to see and admire, however we could not help but feel it was a bit of a tourist trap with a few painters at the door showcasing the process and then very high prices (relative to Bali). We were constantly reminded that all prices were negotiable, but starting prices appeared to be a few hundred to a few thousand USD. This would have been fine if it was a simple gallery tour and freedom to buy if we wanted but we did feel pressured at the end to buy something before we left which left us with a bitter taste in our mouth of the...
