Luh’De Gita (b. 1997) is a multidisciplinary artist from Bali, Indonesia, whose practice spans painting, installation, and spatial composition. Rooted in diasporic and urban contexts, her work explores the intersections of diasporic, ritual, and contemporary cultural systems, creating immersive environments that function as both spatial experiences and conceptual propositions.Central to her practice is an investigation into the transformation of Balinese cultural landscapes under the pressures of global tourism and post-colonial visual economies. Drawing on lived experience, Gita examines how sacred sites, traditions, and collective memory are reframed by an external “aesthetic gaze,” often reduced to consumable images in a globalised context. Between heritage-based symbolism and urban references, she positions Bali as a site where cultural identity is continuously negotiated between preservation, commodification, and transformation.Working primarily with oil and pastel alongside installation, Gita develops layered compositions that oscillate between realism and abstraction. Her paintings depict fragmented or displaced environments, allowing narratives to unfold through form, structure, and context rather than direct representation, and often expanding to reference Balinese ceremonial textiles.Gita holds a BA in Painting from Institut Teknologi Bandung (2020) and an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art, London (2025). Her work has been exhibited internationally across Indonesia, Singapore, South Korea, the Philippines, and the United States, including her solo exhibition “Native Tourists” (Purga Artspace, Bali, 2024). She has participated in numerous group exhibitions and art fairs, and was a finalist for the UOB Painting of the Year. Her work is held in several institutional collections, including the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory (MAGNT).
