Indonesia's Calligraphy Man
ABDUL Djalil Pirous, 82, sat together with his wife, Erna Garnasih, 77, in his painting studio on the ground floor of their home. Wearing a light brown cap and darker brown shirt and trousers, Pirous looked relaxed at the house on Jalan Bukit Pakar Timur II, Bandung, last month.
When Tempo visited, Pirous was taking a break. To rest, sometimes he takes a walk on the terrace of his studio beside the back garden. In one end of the studio, an abstract painting, mostly white and yellow and still unfinished, was displayed on wooden supports.
