I earlier this year met Serbian artist microcosm (Miroslav Dukic) in Borneo for the first time. He played a didgeridoo, which he himself created and I was fascinated by this great, mysterious figure immediately - he did not chit chat, but talked about the darkness and light, and he spoke lovingly of his partner, whom he described as a goddess. Later I discovered that his exhibition Dark and Light -. Dreams Kosmos , held at Via Via Cafe & Alternative Art Space in Jogjakarta, showed his batik creations, which he had made during his one year tenure in Indonesia
"When I arrived in Jogjakarta, Batik greeted me It was really a big surprise, of course I was very interested -. the process of batik the next episode nurtured in my life I use to study painting, not only the technical process of creation, but the explanations of reality that my. must raise beings on this planet So batik painting is the inverted image in front of me -.. to be, it is a new thing was to learn, my grow at a more perception of reality "
Batik micro
at the beginning of his explorations met micro Indonesian artist Sony at his residence, where the two rivers Elo and Progo meet, on the edge of the Borobudur temple, and micro the question: "What the male and female energy in all?" Sony said, "If you keep on this answer of work on this site from all magical Progo Elo supports you have any answer."
(used to apply a pen-like tool hot wax) with the canting for drawing and color as indigosol and naaptol, micro took his first steps in Batik riverside and the end result was meditation - a selection of visionary, cotton batik pieces.
Later micro studied in small ceramic village, Bayat, (will let modern street art, the traditional Japanese pottery and batik techniques) outside Jogjakarta with the organization Indoartamiks and director Melanie McLintock invited micro for a month with students Collaborate from a local school. At this time, micro learned more about Indonesian culture, communication and batik and pottery techniques. Finally, in South Borneo, micro studied traditional tattooing by native Dayak and to see these influences in his batik.
I was curious to find out if more artists were also the processes of batik help to develop creative and I spoke with Annissa Gultom, director of the Museum Kain (Fabric Museum), which opened in Badung, Bali , in November 2013, and is home to many ancient and modern elements of batik. "Museum Kain is a dream for its founders, Obin of the dead man, Roni Siswandi, an archaeologist-anthropologist who a cloth innovator along with BINhouse was," said Annissa. "It combines centuries-old weaving and batik production process with new types of shape and color. Museum Kain is also an embodiment of what should be a modern museum combines ancient artifacts with new methods of communication, interaction, discussion and impressions give. "
the processes of batik are as Annissa Gultom explains in a constant state of flux" Let me share with you what once Roni Siswandi divided me;. the essence of Batik, is the use of hot molten wax whether you use tilting pin, stamps or computer wax applicator when using hot-melted wax, is the batik batik has the industrial revolution survived in the 1700s;. if machines found to speed up production, the wax-stamp was established but it did not kill the tilting pin method. it survived until today. Batik motif printed cloths arisen because there are so many people who Batik want expensive to have in different aspects of their lives, but they could not afford it. But the people who can afford it is made the traditional method choose Batik. There is another market niche to any form of Batik. Everyone tries yet in any way they can to have batik as an inseparable part of their lives "
and before the introduction of synthetic dyes, batik tended in the 1700s to use the colors blue, red brown -. and modern batik now has access to a greater range of colors and yet I was curious to learn more about the differences between traditional and modern techniques of Batik -. were philosophical motifs and symbols used or were people capable of their own personal experiences detect
Batik Kain Museum - sarong from Semarang
"Spiritual philosophy, nature observation and social culture deposits under inspirations are made batik motifs, then and now "said Annissa." There is a piece of Semarang, a sarong, which was passed by five generations of the family Siswandi. The first owner was the grandmother of Roni grandmother. On this sarong, there is a drawing (done with wax and tilting), the situation of the colonial city of Semarang at the time, a dog walk, complete shows with a Dutch man, a long-haired girl near him on foot, and a car with a man and his daughter on board. This piece shows that Batik is not always about spiritual meanings Court symbols or phases of life, but also the expression of the maker -. What they surrounded at the time what the trend was or what they saw every day on the way to the
"in our exhibition, see also batik from Solo to see with badminton motifs (Indonesia first the BWF world Championships in the 1950s won); cotton flower; GANEFO symbols (game of the emerging powers, Soekarno of the project in . the '60s); Peoni flower on Hokokai Batik (Japanese favorite flower, during the Japanese occupation made) and much more These pieces are amazing - each tells the story of the manufacturer and their life time, make batik, actually . a very personal expression the only give us more insight from real people and life time this is how batik should be seen by the people who possessed "
micro Batik is a beautiful exploration of his cosmos. -. to examine the spectrum of light to dark, he was not afraid - by his personal experience he portray showed that batik can be a very personal tool for expression. "Fear is a feeling that occurs when our perception of reality is replaced by the ability to rapidly expand trust and love can transform any part of existence and to illuminate, because we learn to allow us to carry out the universe. - . Us to this incomprehensible hugeness introduction "
