— Indo Art House

About Us

Indo Art House was created to encourage the preservation and continuation of the unique craft and art traditions in Indonesia. As an antidote to the increasing homogenization of cultures around the world, we seek to preserve the unique skills and craftsmanship involved in the incredibly wide array of Indonesian crafts; painting, batik, silverwork, puppets, kites, wood carving, stone statuary, jewelry, architecture, and much more.

By providing in-depth information about the stories behind the crafts, and details of how they are made, we hope collectors will gain a new level of insight and appreciation. In traditional crafts, unlike in modern art, the art or craft does not exist separately from the environment in which it was created. In order to understand and appreciate the art, you need to understand, at some level, the culture.
