Charles Darwin University Art Collection, CDU2993  \nI Dewa Putu Mokoh, featured in this exhibition, unassumingly draws the viewer into the horrific scene at the moment of the bomb’s impact (fig. 7) . With his signature style of paredback iconography and softly muted colour palette, Bom Bali conveys lifeless figures and severed limbs and nods to classical Balinese painting with fire motifs that radiate from the source of the bomb-a car-in the centre of the composition. Bom Bali is thought to be the only Balinese painting to explicitly reference the event (Mateer, 2017: 51) . It is fitting that this iconic work is now housed, in perpetuity, at Charles Darwin University Art Collection.  \nTaksu: The Art of Bali features additional works borrowed from the private collections of Mary Harrison-Hill, and Michael Abbott AO QC, as well as Balinese offering cloths from The Abbott Collection, 2000, which are part of the permanent collection of the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory.2 Other loans include a pair of beautiful Balinese busts from Charles Stuart Eaton, gifted to his father-the late Australian diplomat, Charles Eatonby President Sukarno in 1950, and the aforementioned The Abduction of Princess Sita from the Art Gallery of South Australia. We sincerely thank these lenders for their support.  \nMost importantly, we extend our appreciation to Mary Harrison-Hill and Michael Abbott AO QC for their generous donations of Balinese art to the Charles Darwin University Art Collection. In accepting these outstanding gifts, the University recognises the close geographic, regional, tourist and people-to-people links between the Northern Territory and the Indonesian island of Bali. Through the presentation of Taksu: The Art of Bali the University celebrates the exceptionally rich and expressive culture of Bali and recognises the importance of developing greater appreciation and understanding of our close neighbours.  \n— Kellie Joswig and Joanna Barrkman  \nKellie Joswig is the Acting Curator of CDU Art Collection and Art Gallery (2017-present).  \nDr. Joanna Barrkman is the Senior Curator of Southeast Asia and Pacific Arts, Fowler Museum at UCLA.
