Abstract

The art of Batik painting in Malaysia has experienced a significant transformation through the combination of tradition with modernism. The artists of the new millennium, better known as Generation Z, show courage in exploring various media, including oil paint and digital technology, which brings a new dimension to the art of batik painting. Through studio study methods, a variety of techniques and experiments are adapted to carry out activities and produce works. The use of bold colors and abstract motifs reflects the spirit of creativity and freedom of expression. Inspiration from social and humanitarian issues is the driving force behind these artists’ ability to deliver important messages through their artwork. The important role of art exhibitions and education in developing the Malaysian fine art landscape is also emphasized. Overall, the art of batik painting not only maintains its cultural uniqueness but also develops as a dynamic and relevant modern art form. Combining tradition with modernism creates a harmony that enriches and expands the influence of batik painting in Malaysian art.
