Abstract
This dissertation focuses on these two art fonns practiced from the 1950s up to the year
2000. Batik painting has been with us since the 1950s, practiced by Chuah Thean Teng,
Patrick Ng Kah Onn, Khalil Ibrahim, Tay Mo Leong and Ida Ruth Talalla.'Batik
Painting' and 'Painting Batik' may seem like a play of words but actually signify stark
differences. To redo batik images on canvases or to paint using the batik technique has
become an intriguing issue in modern Malaysian art that has, however, generated less
than enthusiastic attention. The researcher is therefore exploring it here as a theme.One
important source of reference is the bulk of exhibition catalogues on batik issued from
the period. The different ways of presentation and the applications of ~echniques are
studied. The existence of two groups of artistsĀ· who record the beauty in their respective
works plotted their progress is also being studied. Works identified as 'batik painting'
and 'painting batik' in their presentations and techniques are studied. Artworks
characterized as 'batik painting' and 'painting batik' often seen as synonym have to be
differentiated.
This qualitative study is based on the review of exhibition catalogs, official
records, and the artworks themselves. Much infonnation is gleaned from interviews
with selected artists, five of whom represent the school of 'batik painting'(name the
artists) and the other five that of 'painting batik' (name the artists). It is hoped that this
interpretative study will help define the meanings of 'batik painting' and 'painting
batik' much more robustly, identify their practitioners, and nuanced the diffe~ences
between the two in the evolution of modern art of Malaysia.
