TitreGolek Bergolek (7 of 9)
CréateurChong Fah Cheong (1946)
Description“The imprint of Southeast Asia is present at multiple levels in Chong’s sculptural works –titles, themes, materials and execution. Bergolek-golek is Indonesian for a doll or puppet which rolls. In Chong’s hands, the rolling puppet is renamed Golek Bergolek and takes shape in a riot of hemispherical forms which rotate and rock at different velocities. The material for Golek Bergolek is Indonesian teak and the pieces were made in Semarang where Chong enlisted the help of local craftsmen familiar with the tradition of wood carving.” (Textures, Tones & Timbres, Art of Chong Fahcheong, Page 9).
