   Borobudur is the name of the most famous Indonesian's architectural monument in the world. This temple built by Syailendra Dinasty on 800 and it called as invaluable art. Some people called it as one of world's miracle.

2. This temple encrusted beautiful relief, and it shown that Indonesian people have artistic entrepreneur and incredible craftmanship. Thus, when people look at the relief which visualized Gandawyuda, Lalitawisata, Jataka and Awadana, they will evolve their mind that the constructor and builder of Borobudur`s relief is Indonesian. The history confession said that Borobudur with all elements is not only a soul, but also a body of Indonesian.
3. Borobudur located in Menoreh hill in central Java, and it's located between Merapi and Merbabu mountain. This position symbolised that Borobudur is a source of balance consideration. As we know that balance is the start from harmony. Then, the philosophy book implied that the absolute harmony is art. From this statement we can make conclusion that Borobudur is the place of art. This conclusion become realities in the next century, when we notice Indonesian art demografy. Borobudur area and geographic area are similar with Borobudur, example Magelang, Solo and Yogyakarta. Now we call it as a place of art birth in Java. This give influence to all place and make Indonesia as a art country.

7. A critics, DR. Saneto Yuliman (deceased) worried that this explosion can constrict artis creativity, because artist will follow collector, maecenas's appetite or even investor. It can be influence creator's knowledge, because the art lover is people who don't know about art. Drs. Sudarmaji (deceased) had different opinion. He tought that painting art explosion is flash moment, so it don`t need seriously response.
8. Agus Dermawan T always observe the truth and mistake from that response until we get a conclusion that constrict of creativity which worried by Sanento Yuliman is unevidently, although we ever see these phenomenon. Actually we get the painting art explosion for several times, and the echo continue until 2004.
