Phoenix

$300.00

 

Phoenix is featured in aNERDgallery’s exhibition inVISIBLE: Exploring and Redefining Femininity Through Batik, in partnership with Together-Gether SG.

Phoenix, the bird that never dies – a symbol of persistence and unwavering spirit. With the fiery colour tone and brush strokes, the work represents the determination and the fight of a (wo)man. Framed by the traditional stamped motif with cracked wax pattern, the artist is portraying the strong coexistence and influence of tradition (stamped batik) among the modern concepts and ideology (using paint brush) in batik.

The artist first dyed the cloth into light sand colour. Using brushes and copper stamp, he applied the wax to create the outlines and textures before dipping into brown vat. He then added more wax to create finer details before dipping the final piece into the black vat.

This artwork has been signed by ‘Kompor Seni’, a platform co-founded by the artist to exchange ideas among Yogyakarta artists and the public. The artwork is also encased in a high-quality customised frame and is ready to be hung in any space with minimalistic interior for both home and office, who wants to have the energy of prowess and power.
