Abstract

Exploration is investigating or searching the traditional arts that exist in Indonesia. We know that Indonesia is rich country with traditional fine arts consisting of artifacts that can be seen visually, and are a legacy of ancestors that still remains sustainable in certain areas. Indonesian traditional fine art has distinctive features and has potential to be appointed as the future art, because it contains many religious values with distinctive and high quality artistic. Indonesian traditional fine art needs to be studied further, and adjusted according to the needs and support of the times. The aesthetic existence of traditional art is considered as a source of contemporary aesthetics. Traditional aesthetic has form or symbols that appear differently, however, the spirit, soul, or essence is still oriented to mystical, magical, cosmic, and religious culture. The presence of contemporary art with a traditional aesthetic background that represents the past art reflects activities that are based on the appreciation of life in universe, both for physical and non-physical needs. The previous art works were created based on a good awareness of depth function, aesthetics and symbolism which were mixed in a harmonious blend.
