Citra Sasmita presents a new series of works with horsehair, stemming from her deeply rooted feminist convictions and her determination to resist what she regards as the overweening patriarchalism of a conservative society. Her paintings are frequently dominated by female figures, often portrayed as the heroic protagonist in conjunction with potent symbols that have been selected from the primeval realm of Balinese mysticism.
