‘When I paint, I surrender to the flow of images that pass through my mind. I never begin with a concept or a pattern, except for the shards of my dreams that remain in my consciousness.’ – I Gusti Ayu Kadek Murniasih⁠ ⁠ I Gusti Ayu Kadek Murniasih (Murni) (1966–2006) was trained in Bali’s Pengosekan style of painting. Her works are characterised by figures that hold fear and tenderness without resolution, and reveal scars that attest to a journey of endurance and growth.⁠ ⁠ View Murni’s paintings in ‘Thresholds’ at White Cube Hong Kong until 10 January 2026.⁠ ⁠ Images: ‘Kubayangkan Betapa Empuknya Layur Yang Kubawa (I Imagine How Soft Is The Largehead Hairtail Fish That I Brought)’, 1997; ‘Ada Saja Halanganku (There are Obstacles in my Way)’, 2000 Artworks: © Estate of I Gusti Ayu Kadek Murniasih.
