Happy new year guys!!
New year brings up the new resolution, to have better everything in our life.
Well, something certainly getting better and better all the time. One community i supported, Komunitas Pembatik Podhek Pamekasan under tutelage of Bang Rusydi Bawazir is exploring the Pamekasan's possibility to nearing/equal the batik quality produced by the legendary Oey SOe Tjoen of Kedungwuni .
Of course this is no simple matter , as for so long the skill that had once there , had gradually dissappeared due to the low demand of fine-quality Pamekasan Batik production. Batik Pamekasan, well, Madura in general, always suffer with "cheap & garish" stigma, something hold true fact until today. But once in the past there were tradition to produce high-quality batik for local & outside Madurese-community.
And this legacy that Bang Rusydi wants to put into reality. again.
Look at this my latest acquisition.
Produced by Udin , 28 year (and friends , automatically, since batiking isn't solo creation) with reference of famous buketan motif from Peranakan-Dutch origin.
The technique was superb,all in hand-drawn process, and faithfull to the old tradition of deep-dipping-only coloring process (note : this process is time-consuming and costly, since every colors appears in the batik means that they have to be created from dipping process, not some much cheaper-over-brush process popular today)
