Featured Kind of painting identification!

Hi friends , I bought this today and i need your help to identify what kind of painting is this.

 

It is lovely, abdel. A naive painting from Bali, Indonesia. Really nice.
Can you find a signature anywhere? It looks like the work of Ketut Soki:

Indonesian? It's curiously crude: no boobs on the women, limbs ridiculously out of proportion, blobbish bodies, spines but no shoulders ...

 

@Bronwen , I just added something, edited while you were looking

 

We must agree to disagree, Any. Not my cuppa. I don't see anything to recommend it.

 

That is why it is called naive art.
The usual Balinese style is different:

 

Had a feeling when I first examined the photos this would fall into your (vast) realm.

 

Value for one. Balinese paintings do nicely on the international market. Even more so if this one is by a well known artist like Ketut Soki.

 

I bought my naive Balinese painting in Bali, after looking at a whole lot of the things. This one doesn't feature rice paddies, which is why I went Indonesian. We must agree to disagree. Personal taste and all ... but feet, hands and expressions like that ...

 

Did you see the prices on the Soki site in the link I posted?

 

Paintings shown at the linked site use much brighter colors & bigger variety of colors. Unless he had a Blue Period, don't think this one looks like his work.

 

I saw the site, not the prices, but see no similarities between Abdel's picture and the mad vibrancy of Soki's (not that I like those either). Everyone in Bali is an artist. You have to fight your way through this sort of thing, as I'm sure you know. Paintings like this are everywhere. Cheap as. I'll post a pic of mine -- bought for less than $2 in a grocery store up the east coast somewhere.

 

Soki will sell you a carved wood frame to go with your painting. The frame on this one is unusual. Any clues there?

 

You're right, it may not be his. But it is definitely the style of his village, where the first painters were taught by Arie Smit, a Dutch artist. I couldn't remember the name of the village, only of Soki.
The better known style is usually from Ubud.

 

I found the name of the village while googling Arie Smit, it is Penestanan.
The style is called "Young Artists", specific for Penestanan, and an internationally recognized style of naive painting.

 

This is some info on Arie Smit, you can see where the "Young Artists" got their style from. @CheersDears , you'd better not look

A typical Balinese artwork, only much better than the others for the same price in the same supermarket up the far east coast many years ago. It shows farm workers being startled by our bathroom light fitting. Bali is only small: I can't believe styles stay in any one place for more than an hour or two, especially if they sell.

 

Nice Cheers. I agree, this is the general tourist stuff, but attractive.
The art from the recognized schools is more valuable.
It is a popular misconception that all Balinese art is the same, or everyone follows the next popular trend. There are definitely different local styles on Bali, ever since the 1930s when foreign artists set up art schools and programs. Some styles, like Pita Maha, are protected.

 

Thank you for the information provided. But I must show the back of the painting.

 

On OP's original image.....no siggy found UNLESS it's under the frame, NO boobs, one naked man..........'s all I've got!!!!!
