Sore Di Pelabuhan Ratu presents a fishing town located in West Java province renowned for its sandy beaches. Executed in muted and rustic colours, it depicts a picturesque landscape of boats along the peaceful coastline in the evening. The area derived its name based on the legendary myth of the Queen of the Southern Sea. The multidisciplinary Jeihan Sukmantoro was a sculptor, ceramist, printmaker (woodcuts) and painter (acrylic, oil, watercolours, pastels) and a published poet. A rebel, he studied at the Bandung Institute of Technology (1960-1966) but did not complete it. His best known book of poetry is MATA MBeling Jeihan (2000). Besides all over Indonesia, he had solo exhibitions in Rome (Italy), Rotterdam (Netherlands), New Jersey (United States), Paris (France), Zurich (Switzerland) and Malaysia. For his dedication in the art world, Jeihan achieved an award as the Pioneer of West Java Art (2006) and Anugerah Budaya Kota Bandung (2009).
