Batik Tiga Negri

Batik Tiga Negri portrays the rich tradition of batik-making, highlighting the fusion of styles from three significant batik-producing regions in Indonesia: Lasem, Pekalongan, and Solo. The painting captures a vibrant batik workshop, where women are deeply engaged in the canting process—applying hot wax to fabric using a traditional pen-like tool. The vibrant fabrics on display reflect the diverse cultural influences that shape batik motifs, Chinese, Dutch, and Javanese elements are intricately blended into the design. The dynamic interaction among the women suggests a shared knowledge and collective effort in maintaining the heritage of batik.
