my first batik art
Recently I’ve been thinking a lot about how the eastern and western styles are used together in fashion. Some of the results are incredibly beautiful: the contrast of the clean and geometric style of western design to the highly decorative eastern design.
Thinking about this reminds me of indonesian decorative art called “batik” which mainly is applied to textile.
The above flash movie is my attempt to create a batik drawing.

Batik is actually a technique of drawing/ painting on fabric. Indonesia is famous for Batik, but other countries like Malaysia now has its own distinguished style of Batik - which is very bold, colourful & modern.
The best part is that in Malaysia, Batik is often incorporated with fashion, hence breathing new life in the age old tradition
