RHAPSODIA VAN JAVA // The Preservation of Sterling Masterpiece
A tribute for 10th anniversarry of JAVA JAZZ Festival.
The meaning of preservation is very strong & fortitude in batik Udan Liris. Udan Liris motif means fortitude & resilience in life, with distinctively parallel diagonal stripes. It has become a reference point in modern batik making in this work, by using the 9 components of jazz instruments, such as Saxophone, Trombone, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Double Bass, Clarinet, Trumpet, Piano & Drumand as the pattern.
Diamond in the card game has an element of earth, and also means home and folk. In Indonesia, there was a traditional folk entertainment, namely WAYANG or Shadow Puppets. In the world of Wayang, Punakawan figures can be interpreted as an entertainer or a source of wisdom and truth. Thus, the chosen character Punakawan most known to the public, namely Semar, Gareng, Petruk & Bagong, solace and personification Rhapsodia Van Java in order to preserve the sterling masterpiece of Batik and Wayang.
As I said before, I was inspired from UDAN LIRIS. This final pattern or batik, combined from all of the patterns instrumental above, I named it TEMBANG LIRIS.
P.S: Tembang is javanese language from "song"
