Erotika dalam karya FERLIN YOSWARA Eroticsm Within Ferlin Yoswara Artworks by : Rifandy Priatna Penggambaran aktivitas seksual secara umum pada lukisan, Berkarya dengan menggunakan teknik Chinese painting pada Di peradaban lama Cina seks memiliki kaitan dengan keabadian patung, drama, fotografi, musik dan sastra dapat dikategorikan sebagai pameran tunggalnya kali ini bukanlah tanpa sebab. Ferlin menemukan karena mampu memberikan kesehatan yang lebih baik. Hal tersebut erotic art atau seni erotika. Keberadaannya sudah sejak lama hadir pada keterkaitan yang mendalam antara proses pencarian jati dirinya dengan juga berbeda dengan pandangan di Barat mengenai Seks, yang berbagai kebudayaan dan peradaban manusia. Pada kebudayaan awal kebudayaan Cina yang ia warisi dari keluarganya. Teknik lukis tradisional cenderung untuk merendahkannya menjadi aktifitas pemenuhan manusia, seksualitas sangat terkait dengan kekuatan supranatural dan Cina dirasa cukup mewakili keterkaitan Ferlin dengan latar belakang kepuasan erotis semata. Di kebudayaan barat, seks tidak memiliki karena itu pula terjalin pertalian antara seksualitas dengan agama asli keluarganya. Seni lukis tradisional Cina merupakan sebuah bentuk nilai adiluhung dan cenderung untuk dipandang rendah di mata setempat (Asia). Kita dapat melihat hal tersebut di India, Nepal, teknik melukis yang memiliki pakem tersendiri. Cina adalah salah satu agama. Srilanka, Jepang dan China dimana penggambaran seksualitas memiliki peradaban tertua di dunia dengan tradisi pola pemerintahan memusat, nilai spiritual pada ajaran agama Hindu, Budha, Tao dan Shinto. spesifik dan kaku. Begitupun dengan peran seni dalam kehidupannya. Sementara di barat, Bangsa Yunani dan Romawi membuat seni dan Seni di peradaban Cina memiliki struktur, pola, bersifat mendidik dan membentuk bahasanya sendiri dalam karya-karyanya. Ia merekonstruksi dekorasi erotika yang sebagian besar tercakup dalam kepercayaan dan sebagai sebuah kesatuan. Sebagai contoh, seniman adalah sesosok bahasa dan pakem seni lukis tradisional Cina. Dengan memadukan aktifitas kebudayaan mereka. Perdebatan mengenai perbedaan seni orang yang mampu menguasai puisi, kaligrafi dan lukisan sebagai penggambaran seksualitas yang disandingkan dengan idiom visual yang erat erotika dengan pornografi (yang juga menggambarkan aktivitas seksual bentuk seni tertinggi dan mengaplikasikannya ke dalam karyanya. Ia dengan budaya barat, dalam hal ini Belanda. Pada karya-karyanya kali ini dengan tujuan membangkitkan birahi, walaupun tidak dapat juga harus mampu mengurai pola hubungan diantara berbagai bentuk Ferlin berusaha mencampurkan berbagai bahasa visual dan dikategorikan sebagai seni) sering kali hadir. Adapun perbedaan dari seni lainnya melalui diagram kosmik atau mandala ( struktur organisasi mempertahankan sebagian tatanan tradisi pada seni lukis tradisional Cina. keduanya terletak pada intensi dan pesan; seni erotika ditujukan kehidupan dengan alur yang menghubungkan mikrokosmos dan Cara menggambar panorama, figur dan tumbuhan masih memepertahankan sebagai sebuah karya yang dibangun melalui elemen formal yang makrokosmos ). Disaat pelukis barat mempersoalkan sapuan kuas pada tradisi yang ia pelajari dari gurunya, akan tetapi hadirnya ia juga melukiskan menawan (estetis) dan berpijak pada karya dan sejarah seni itu sendiri lukisan mereka, seniman cina sibuk menerapkan teknik memegang berbagai hal yang bagi gurunya tidak memiliki kepentingan untuk dilukis. yang sudah hadir sebelumnya. Sedangkan pornografi ditujukan untuk kuas, mencelup tinta dan sudut penyapuannya dari guru mereka. Dan Disinilah pola pikir Ferlin untuk merekonstruksi tradisi tersebut menjadi memberikan stimulasi seksual bagi pemirsanya. Bagaimanapun juga apabila pakem tersebut tidak dikuasai maka karya tersebut dianggap menarik. Karena disatu sisi Ferlin masih bekerja dalam kerangka tradisional, kehadiran dari perbedaan tersebut sangatlah bersifat subyektif. tidak berharga. Satu lagi yang menjadi ciri khas dari seni di Cina adalah akan tetapi ia juga melukiskan hal-hal yang tidak seharusnya berada dalam mereka memandang seni seperti agama. Selalu ada elemen sakral kerangka tradisional tersebut. Seksualitas yang hadir pada karya-karyanya Kebudayaan timur memiliki sejarah panjang dalam tradisi pembuatan didalamnya yang berasal dari gurunya.
