Coffee as Art: Bali

kopibali.jpg Kopi Bali House, located on the bypass Sanur has long been the hang out of choice for Bali’s coffee aficionados. Owned and operated by Bali’s leading family of coffee traders, Kopi Bali has an almost endless range of coffee on offer for sipping enjoyment on the premises or freshly ground for home-brewing later as the Bali Discovery explains.

Have no doubts on the subject: Kopi Bali takes its coffee seriously. Coffee machines of every shape and size are displayed down the length and breadth of the shop and we have it on good authority that sacred offerings are routinely made to each of the percolating pieces of coffee hardware. Those in search of the perfect gift for a coffee-fixated friends will enjoy browsing Kopi Bali’s range of cups, milk steamers and mini-espresso machines.

Coffee Art by Rudy Sri Handoko

In order to raise their commitment to all things coffee to another level, Kopi Bali have now opened the Kopi Bali Gallery featuring paintings by well-known artists Rudy Sri Handoko.

Handoko, a well-known and respected Bali-based artists who has exhibited his work in Surabaya, Bali and China has developed an entire collection of paintings for the new gallery all produced with coffee, as opposed to traditional paint forms. The resulting works all have a sepia quality and, as you might expect, exude the familiar smell of freshly brewed coffee.

Open daily at the Kopi Bali House – Coffee Art can be found at Jalan Bypass Ngurah Rai 405D in Sanur.
