Abstract

This study explains the Malay formalistic and aesthetic in Hamdan Lias block batik that uses bamboo as a medium for innovation to produce block batik patterns. This study aims to identify the motif designs produced by thorn bamboo (Bambusa Blumeana) and honey bamboo (Gigantocha Albociliata). Next, the block batik motifs in Selendang I is analyzed through Malay aesthetic theory. A qualitative approach through direct observation in the field of the products produced. The documentation method is also done based on the length of fabric selection of Selendang I belonging to Hamdan Lias. An interview with Hamdan Lias was conducted to find references relevant to the problem. It was analyzed using the Malay aesthetic theory approach expressed by Ruzaika Omar Basaree. The problem is the lack of studies directed at Malay aesthetic theory in block batik motifs through form, meaning and philosophy that tend to possess the concept of spiritualism or mysticism, unity, symbolism, refinement, symmetry, flexibility and functionality. Research findings show that the motifs produced on the length fabric from the use of thorn bamboo (Bambusa Blumena) and honey bamboo (Gigantocha Albociliata) which are used as batik blocks have a link between the Malay aesthetic theory that displays the beauty of Malay-Islamic art. An understanding of the form, meaning, philosophy, and purpose of the application of motifs and pattern design needs to be applied in batik art to form a unique image and identity. Simultaneously guiding and trying to stimulate designers to produce new expressions and dimensions in today's modern block batik art.
