About
With ‘The Tide Is Our Guide’ the artists delve into primitivism, with naïve renderings and folkloric scenes that are descriptive and speak of ancient tales. This series pays homage to ancient Southeast Asian traditions of Batik and traditional textile weaving. “Creating these paintings has been an additive process involving surface explorations and pattern-making (the word batik coming from the Indonesian word ‘ambatik’ meaning ‘a cloth with little dots’). We find ourselves looking back on our past, unashamed and inspired. In our re-interpreting Batik, giving it pride of place, we’re keen to have people perceive it as something of relevance in present-day”.
