seni ukir batu candi

Mengukir kayu bagi para seniman di Bali sudah biasa dilakukan. Tetapi mengukir batu tentu bukan perkara mudah. Namun hal tersebut tidak berlaku bagi para seniman ukir di Desa Batu Bulan, Kabupaten Gianjar, Bali. Kendati cukup keras untuk diukir, lewat tangan terampil para pengrajin batu cadas disulap menjadi karya yang bernilai tinggi hingga laku dijual dengan harga puluhan juta rupiah.

Kerasnya batu tidak menyurutkan semangat para seniman di Bali untuk berkreasi seni. Misalnya saja yang dilakukan oleh I Made Sujaya, pengrajin di Desa Batu Bulan, Kecamatan Sukawati, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali ini.

Dengan tekun, sejak 3 tahun silam ia memahat batu menjadi patung berbagai rupa. Bahan baku batu yang digunakan berupa batu paras bale, batu candi, batu cadas atau batu kali dan batu putih atau gamping.

Pembuatan patung batu ini dikerjakan dengan menggunakan pahat. Hasilnya, selain cukup unik dan indah, patung-patung tersebut juga banyak diminati hingga keluar negeri dan laku dijual hingga harga puluhan juta rupiah.

Misalnya saja untuk ukuran patung 60 centimeter, dijual antara 500 ribu sampai 1 juta rupiah. Sementara patung ukuran 2 meter bisa laku dijual hingga 35 juta rupiah.

"Ukiran batu ini tidak hanya dipasarkan di Bali saja. Namun dari Jawa, Jakarta bahkan sampai ke Surabaya, Kalimantan dan Sumatera". Sementara untuk keluar negeri hampir semua mulai dari Amerika, Eropa, Asia hingga Australia,"
