Description: Vintage Indonesian Batik Fabric Art by Gianto Board Mounted Matted King Queen Batik is a wax-resistant dyeing technique used on textiles. The word batik is derived from the Javanese word ambatik: amba means writing and titik means point. Hot wax is applied to fabric with a tool that holds the hot wax. After each layer the material is dyed, dried, and the wax melted off. Another layer of wax is applied as every point and every line, no matter how small, is drawn by hand, and the dyeing, drying, and wax removal process repeated. Very colorful batik of what appears to be seated King and Queen figures by batik artist Gianto. I found very little information about the artist other than, "the young artist Gianto, had his studio in the Taman Sari area, the former water palace of the Sultan of Yogyakarta" from an artist that visited Gianto in 1972. Scant pieces I've seen online attributed to Gianto were dated during the 1970s, so I assume this piece dates from the 70s as well. Good vintage condition. Foam board mounted (photo 5). Item was previously framed; there are indentations on the back side of the foam board (photos 5,8)--fabric image is unaffected. Signed "Gianto" (photo 7). Black matting. Measures about 31.5"L x 21.75"W, Image: 27"L x 17.25"W Black matted and signed. Item was previously framed. It was removed from the frame to minimize shipping costs. Ships from a smoke free, pet free home. Thanks for viewing!! Please view my other listings.
