Gusti Kade

(Bali, 2000)

Gusti Kade was born on May 22, 2000, in Jembrana, Bali. In 2018, he decided to continue his education at the Indonesian Institute of the Arts Denpasar, majoring in Fine Arts. Currently, he is actively working with embroidery techniques, an interest he developed during his final exam when he researched fabrics commonly used in Bali. Influenced by his parents’ profession as tailors, he has a deep familiarity with fabric materials. After completing his undergraduate education at ISI Denpasar in early 2022, he became aware of the importance of creating works to fulfill spiritual needs and the purpose of his studies. His current work stems from observations of the surrounding environment, including community habits, the environment, culture, and traditions in his birthplace. Jembrana serves as a source of spiritual fulfillment, integrating discussions on how civilization manifests in daily life. He characterizes the application of complementary colors in Jembrana embroidery and positions Jembrana embroidery as a valuable material in ceremonial processions.
