Ques 3: BATIK ARTIST ROBIN PARIS!

One of the famous batik artist is ROBIN PARIS.
Some of ROBIN PARIS's work revolves around the world internationally, such as Australia. there are also alot of marine and sea life, and they gave me the idea of Singapore when it was a fishing port years ago. Whatsmore, they also suggest that the world have many nature places to go to. Most of his artworks have a very natural 'kampong' feeling. For the 'marine' theme of his art, it links me to the Maldives. Thus, Robin Paris's artwork revolves around the world's natural places.

Question 2

Traditional batik colours includes indigo, dark brown and white as natural dyes are most commonly available in indigo and brown. Certain patterns can only be worn by nobility; traditionally, wider stripes or wavy lines of greater width indicated higher rank. But modern batik includes a wide range of colours. The old process of Batik does not allow the artist to apply many colors in one go.

However, the modern techniques have advanced and have made it easy for the artist, where one can use the brush to apply many colors in one go! There is no restrictions whether who you are and what you can or cannot wear a certain pattern. Traditionally, it was used as a material to clothe the human body. But now, it is used for furnishing fabrics, heavy canvas wall hangings, tablecloths and household accessories.
