We often read in our daily newspapers or news media of the increasing cases of damage and destruction done to the environment. In the name of progress and development, human greed knows no boundaries-not thinking or care about the impact it has on nature. When disaster strikes, episodes of finger pointing begin-everyone starts to point fingers at various parties, blaming each other. Flash floods, global warming, loss of flora and fauna and other natural green is often associated with natural law of human action that is increasingly tainted with the preoccupations of the world.
What will be shown in the next generation if all the natural treasures of our forest were replaced by the stone and concrete jungle that we are so proud of? Is it enough just the gardens or the zoos that are constructed and prepared specially for public consumption? Thus, graffiti and drawings on paper or canvas are options in creating a sense of gratitude and enthusiasm for the natural environment that has many secrets and yet have not been revealed. Trail through the jungle for some is a way of challenging and fun ways to produce works that exhibits the beauty of our natural environment.
Pelita Hati took the initiative to organize an exhibition entitled “Life & Nature” as an effort to introduce and showcase the results of works inspired by the story of life and our natural environment. The selected artists will gather the works produced, as a result of their own observations and poured out onto canvas or other mediums that incorporate their skills and ideas through their own creative imagination. Various media and objects of choice used by artists to produce works depicting nature are certainly most promising. Indirectly, this exhibition provides opportunities for new talent to be discovered. It is hoped that this approach will add and generate new generation of talented artist with quality artworks. In addition, Pelita Hati also hopes to highlight the ideas of artists-to the general public in making a person knowledgeable in maintaining and preserving nature in an increasingly arid and dangerous world. Hopefully this will benefits various parties in providing general knowledge about our natural life and environment.
