Balinese artist I Ketut Soki
Balinese artist I Ketut Soki
Among Arie Smit's many achievements a
notable one was his creation of the
Young Artists School in Bali.
I Ketut Soki was one of Arie's first pupils.
Annemarie Hollitzer, has written an
account on Arie Smit that mentions Ketut
Soki. Here is an extract, "One day in
1960, when Arie Smit lived in a house near
Campuhan in the Ubud district, he went
for a walk through the rice fields in
neighbouring Penestanan. There he
found a young boy drawing pictures in
the sand. Smit invited the youth to his
studio and gave him crayons and paper.
The name of the young boy was I Nyoman
Cakra. As a true Balinese, Nyoman didn’t
want to be alone, so he asked, “Can my
nephew come too?” His nephew was I
Ketut Soki, and these two youths
became Smit’s first pupils."
Pak Soki as he is known is very popular
today. People who visit Bali often buy his
art to remember their stay in that magical
place.
