REPRESENTASI MOTIF BATIK LUKIS DI NEGERI PAHANG: SATU KAJIAN LITERATUR

Abstract

Malaysian society is familiar with batik produced in Kelantan and Terengganustates, but very little is known about batik from Pahang, which is revered forits traditional ‘tenun Pahang’ (Pahang woven fabric). The reason for this lackof understanding regarding the uniqueness of batik lukis (hand drawn batik)from Pahang is that much information about it offers only general descriptions.This research is a qualitative study of literature that explores the process ofproducing Pahang’s batik lukis from perspectives of idea generation, thepractitioners, cultural expressions and representation, the environment, andcreativity and aesthetics, in order to delve deeper into a Malay art heritageworthy of preservation. Keywords: batik lukis, batik motifs, arts, culture.
