Batik Galore








Very different subject matter, yet with one common element: batik. RosZainol or Zainol, a painter based in Malacca has this deep fascination with the Malay traditional cloth and for several years did study on the utilization of batik and how it has enhance his understanding of batik to a different height. His latest painting try to potray batik as a possible tangible object and not reduced to the stereotypical clothing line as majority of Malaysian would love to accept in their frame of mind. The attempt to shape batik as a square and manifests it through watercolour and fashioned it after the essential characteristic of a batik; a cloth is commendable and unique.
