BENANG MERAH GENERASI PERUPA
Mengenang Pelukis Mardian

Pemandangan (1979)

Suami saya Hardiman Wisesa, dilahirkan di Namu Sira Sira, Binjai (Medan) pada 13 Oktober 1970. Ketika bertandang ke rumah pelukis Mustika di Jakarta (1997) dihadiahi sebuah buku, yang ditulis oleh pelukis Mustika sendiri. Dari beliau suami saya mengenal sosok pelukis Mardian yang merupakan salah satu perupa modern Indonesia yang merupakan adik kandung kakeknya (Alm, R. Oemar Said) yang juga seorang perupa. Pelukis Mardian dilahirkan di Sosromenduran, Yokyakarta pada 10 Januari 1926. Telah menjadi salah seorang pendobrak seni rupa modern Indonesia meski namanya tidak sepopuler pelukis Affandi.

Saya mengutip dari  buku dan pembicaraan antara suami saya dan pelukis Mustika:

Untuk menjadi sarjana ekonomi - insinyur - dokter - politikus, telah banyak diselenggarakan perguruan tinggi, jutaan orang dengan titel terkait telah dicetak. Namun tidak satu perguruan tinggi yang sanggup mencetak sarjana yang menyandang gelar "seniman". Ternyata dalam proses perjalanan mencapai gelar tersebut,  seniman lahir sesuai dengan "fitrah-Nya". (Mustika dan Sukirnanto: 366, 1996)

Beda zaman beda corak dan kecintaan dapat dilihat dari dua sosok perupa ini, meski mengalir darah yang sama. Pelukis Mardian yang lahir tahun 1926 telah memperbanyak dan memperbarui pelukis esensi dan kolorist. Bakat yang dimiliki mengingatkan pada karya pelukis Kadinsky, Fauvist dan Matise. Demikian komentar kritikus dan pers Belanda pada pameran tunggalnya di Balai Budaya Jakarta (1977). Sedang cucunya Hardiman Wisesa yang lahir tahun 1970 menetapkan hati pada karya klasik atau naturalis yang mengingatkan pada karya-karya pelukis Eropah Rembrant, Millet dan pelukis naturalis Indonesia Dullah dan Raden Saleh.

Warna dan corak bukan tolak ukur untuk menjadi yang terbaru atau yang tertinggal. Tetapi benang merah yang mengikat mereka pada mata rantai senirupa, keduanya sama-sama mendedikasikan hidup yang dianugerahi Tuhan hanya untuk berkesenian.

The Biggest Dream in My life

The biggest dream that i have ever had in my life was hoping to go out far away from this country.. But however my luck will never bring me there. I have tried to find job there even though it was not the best try, I went there not long time ago, i went for a month, i stayed with my friend's parents who really welcoming me to stay in her house (kinda apartment). They really treated me well in the first three days and i was very happy to stayed in their house. Her mother always cooked a delicious lunch and dinner and always asked me to have lunch and dinner there, though i seldom eat there, because i was thinking not to owe them too much....I always chat with her mother, we had a great conversation and seemed that we are really closed....
One day, when i was about to go out, her mother suddenly borrowed money from me, perhaps she might knew that i brought much money there for my living expenses. She was in a hurry that day and i was shocked when she started to borrow money from me..because i had taking her as my own aunt then without consideration i lent her the money, which consider as a big amount....She said that she needed that much money for house renting fees then i think it's alrite for helping others, because in the other hand i was staying with her as well...She asked me not to tell her husband about this money and promised to return my money a week later after she has taken it from her husband (i might understand because she didn't work and hang on her husband)..
A week later, she said, i will gave it back when i got the money from the uncle, then i think it's okay...Since then she started to tell a lie, i was a bit curious about what she has done to my money...
I tried to make sure and asked uncle while she was out for something.
"Have uncle paid for the house renting fees? i asked.
"Yes, i have..i always pay on time and you don't have to be worried about the house renting fees, as long as i am still working and am able to pay then you may stay for free here?" replied uncle.
"Actually aunt borrowed money from me (i told him the amount of the money that she lent). She said for paying the house renting fees, then i just simply gave to her.." i said..
Then the uncle was angrily replied me: "Why should you lent her the money? You know that she always took my money when i came back from work and it is still doesn't enough for her to go gambling? I still owe the government $10000 because of paying the debt...and Now, she still lent money from you?"
I was shocked when i knew she is a gambler then i replied him: "It is alrite, i just wanna make sure whether she told a lie or not, because she said she needed that money for paying house renting fees..then i believe in her and lent her the money..I hope uncle didn't ask her about the money that she lent from me anymore.."
When aunt came home, she saw uncle's face was not in a good mood then she asked me: "What had you said to uncle? why is his face suddenly turn black?" then i replied: I asked him about the house renting fees then he said he had paid for it, so why were you still borrowing for the house renting fees? Was there anything that you didn't want me to know?". She started to blame on me and swear (said bad words).. I was trying to control myself and cried silently. I was thinking deep inside my heart, i was alone here far from my parents and i got this problem...Then i sms my grandma who live there and she asked me to go out soon from my friend's house and stayed with her....When i am about leave the house, she just gave me back the money after deducting for the house renting for a week. Then i move to my grandma house, in which i really enjoy more staying with my grandma. (everything is free, eat for free, stay for free, and shop for free)..I enjoyed my time staying with my grandma.

I learnt something precious from that, "We might not be that easily to trust others, how close they are with you, we should always be careful ,stay smart and be wise"

Obstacle and Miracle

Sunday, June 13, 2008

The first, Our family very happy, pervade hit my soul without imagining something bad waiting in front of my live. My husband and my mother picked me up from the clinic after giving birth of our second baby in this morning. Absolutely a great happiness of our lives.

When we were in the bedroom, my husband got a phone called from his friend which his mother's friend  had passed away. My husband was so shocked and ran out from the bedroom since then I did not know what happened with my baby, he started to cry. I tried to open all his clothes maybe an insect bite, but i couldn't find anything. I applied the eucalyptus oil on his whole body as well but still he really didn't want to stop crying, he just got me confused. Suddenly I heard my mobile was ringing then i felt that something might happened, when i picked up the phone, the blood in my body seemed to stop, legs that supported me was shock, my vision became dark, but i realized that i was cuddling a crying baby on my arms, I walked to the bed with my blurry eyes. I put my baby on the bed then i hold on the bed side to try to climb out from the weak.
My elder daughter who was beside me, came to give me a favor. She was calm as she gave me a water to console me up.
"What happen mom?" asked her.
" Dear, your father got an accident, his right shoulder and ribs have broken. He will be hospitalized and needs intensive care for about several months" .We both really worry about the issue.

Most of my husband friends know about this case then they come to reduce my anxiety, I had have little worry since then. We were seperated two months because he needed an intensive care in hospita, finally we both can be together again. It was a miracle to know that he can still finish the order painting on time, although his right shoulder and ribs had broken.
I really learn something from this life obstacle which there are  thousand ways to solve the problems even it is impossible. And  i believe if we never give it up, we can always find the conclusion.

ARS MINIATUR NATURAM

HARMONI  ALAM DAN SATWA PADA KARYA HARDIMAN WISESA.

Evolusi pengertian dan pemahaman kita terhadap alam sekitar dan penghuninya telah mengalami pergeseran penting. Para pembela dan pemerhati lingkungan, konservator dan penyelamat jenis satwa-satwa yang terancam punah, kini bekerja keras mengembalikan populasi dan habitat mereka semula. Intensitas keprihatinan tersebut, boleh dibilang hampir menyamai intensitas ketidak pahaman kita atas persoalan serupa beberapa dekade lampau.

Kepedulian tersebut tentu saja belum dapat memulihkan segalanya; kerusakan dan degradasi lingkungan telah meninggalkan bekas teraniaya yang sedemikian rupa dan nyaris tak terpulihkan. Bahkan saat iklan-iklan penyelamatan lingkungan semacam kerusakan hutan makin gencar dilakukan oleh para pemerhati lingkungan, negara kita masih digolongkan sebagai wilayah yang paling tercepat didunia dalam hal kerusakan hutan dengan segala hewan penghuninya.

Mengapa demiklian? Barangkali salah satu alasan penting adalah bahwa hati nurani masyarakatmodern yang menggunakan logika uang masih terlalu kebal untuk tersentuh pada masalah-masalah lingkungan alam, soal yang justru mereka anggap sepele.

Bila sementara banyak orang belum merasa terpanggil atau tersentuh hatinya pada issue diatas, bukan berati upaya-upaya yang bersifat langsung, tegas (demo, protes) maupun yang persuasif  lewat berbagai bentuk media berhenti. Para aktivis lingkungan menggunakan berbagai bentuk media penyadaran, para penulis dan seniaman menggunakan sentuhan estetis dalam menggugah perasaan publik.

Pelukis Hardiman Wisesa, seperti apa yang tersirat dengan jelas pada sekian banyak karya-karyanya yang bernada naturalis hingga hyperrealis, sesungguhnya termasuk diantara sekian banyak seniman yang mengangkat kebesaran alam. Lebih tepatnya seniman yang hidup sederhana ini datang dengan sepenuh hati melukis hewan-hewan liar ditengah lingkungan yang masih alami, diantara pola pikir masyarakat yang keburu terppojok ditengah belantara teknologi modern.

Dapat diduga, pilihan sikap ini tidak dengan sendirinya muncul dari satu arah sudut pandang (interpretasi) ataupun satu pelimpahan alam bawah sadar semata. Sangat mungkin pelukis yang mengaku telah menekuni seni lukis sejak usia 13 tahun ini didorong berbagai situasi dan kesadaran dalam memilih subyeknya.

Karya-karya Wisesa pertama dapat digolongkan pada kecenderungan naturalisme. Disini subyek ditangkap sealami mungkin dan tanpa ada kelebihan yang ekstrim (lihat karya yang mengangkat subjek ayam dan harimau dengan rantingnya). Netralitas dalam melihat dan menyuguhkan subyek menjadi pilihan, dan itu pula yang tersirat oleh penikmat. Itu bukan berarti tanpa penonjolan aksen visual tertentu. Permainan cahaya dan kontas gelap terang menjadi factor yang amat penting dalam karyanya yang melukiskan sekelompok sapi dan gembala, misalnya.

Pada kecenderungan kedua, karyanya jelas telah mengikuti jejak para seniman realis bahkan hyperrealis (lihat karya-karya seniman dunia seperti Rembrant, Carl Brenders, Ralp Goings dan Richard Estes). Keunggulan teknik dalam menyuguhkan detail serta suasana, memberi banyak peluang kejutan.

Dalam sebuah karyanya yang menggambarkan sosok banteng yang berdiri kokoh, dalam warna hitam kecoklatan. Bagian latar hanya terisi sapuan warna coklat keabuan, menandakan padang tandus yang mengabur, menyatu dengan langit. Kecuali rerumputan dan bebatuan diatas tanah dalam kontras/intensitas warna secukupnya, tidak ada elemen lain yang cukup menonjol selain sosok Banteng dengan mata dan kilatan cahaya pada kedua tanduknya yang terkesan magis.

Karya sederhana Wisesa menunjukkan keunggulannya dalam memaksimalkan tampilan subyek secara gamblang. Didukung penguasaan bentuk dan pengontrolan warna (kontras, balance), ia senantiasa produktif menciptakan kejutan-kejutan lain pada setiap sudut atau detail dikanvasnya.

Melihat issu lingkungan yang melekat pada karya-karya Wisesa, bukan tidak mungkin rambahan tematisnya suatu saat akan lebih menohok pada persoalan-persoalan yang lebih kritis, dengan pesan-pesan moral menyangkut lingkungan. Keterancaman habitat dan populasi hewan-hewan langka yang termasuk dilindungi karena ancaman kepunahan habitat, kerusakan lingkungan hidup (hutan, lingkungan padat perkotaan) yang bukan hanya mengancam dunia hewan tetapi juga manusia itu sendiri.

Karya-karya realis lainnya menghadirkan nuansa lain. Merekam dunia urban - budaya pop perkotaan dan banyak lagi ragam karya realism yang belum disebut disini, telah menyadarkan kita akan daya hidup lukisan berbasia realisme dimasa kini.
