Original Batik Art Painting on Cotton Fabric, 'Village People' By Jabriel (66cm X 22cm)

Kuda Kepang was one of Asian's unique traditional culture which is a form of dance that involve mystical elements. The dancers then were possessed by horse-like spirits and performed seemingly superhuman feats such as tearing coconut husks with their bare teeth and enduring whip lashes on their bodies. Once they were possessed, it will be wild and hard to control. Jabriel adopting the Batik Tulis technique, he translated his artistic interpretations using a canting, a tool filled with hot wax that acts like a pen to resist dyes from penetrating the unwanted areas. All Batik paintings go through wax-dye-boil method, making each art a worthy treasure.
