Reflection In Batik by Anwar Husen Khatri

This stunning Batik artwork by Anwar Husen Khatri is a profound exploration of reflection, symmetry, and traditional craft. Rendered in a monochromatic palette of black, white, and earthy beige, the composition evokes a mesmerizing interplay between architectural grandeur and its mirrored counterpart. At the top, three bold, dark arches stand tall, forming a facade, their pointed shapes reminiscent of Indo-Islamic architectural motifs. These arches frame an intricate floral lattice pattern that radiates across the negative space, a hallmark of classical Batik craftsmanship. Below, the reflection is seamlessly woven into the composition, subtly distorted by the fabric’s organic texture and crackled wax resist effect, capturing the ephemeral nature of mirrored images. The transition from deep black to glossy white echoes the way light interacts with surfaces, emphasizing depth and movement. Fine floral motifs within the geometric framework enhance the piece’s elegance, grounding it in the rich heritage of textile traditions. The raw, crinkled edges of the fabric retain the essence of handmade Batik, showcasing the meticulous dyeing and wax-resist technique that Khatri has masterfully employed. This artwork is not just a visual representation of a physical reflection but also an introspective metaphor—where perception, history, and artistry converge. It invites the viewer to contemplate the delicate balance between reality and illusion, permanence and transience, tradition and innovation. Through this Batik, Anwar Husen Khatri reaffirms his command over the medium, transforming textile into a poetic visual narrative.
