Year 2009 so called conceive of creative economy years. Base thing that is, perupa Mier Komara proposes that ki's flower cangkurileung's peacock and bird is made as ikon of Bandung's City that is perpetuated into art batiks kontemporer.
Now, as realization of its idea, Mier intermediates to make blue print batiks that. Not only features two flora ikon and City typical faunas Bandung, but it also complete its brand batik with symbol letters that taken from by Sunda's letter of the alphabet, kaganga. Mier calls coming batik opus created that as Baganga, elongation of Sunda Kaganga's letter of the alphabet batik.
"Bandung as city of art and culture, we know, of year goes to its year do ever never slack of discourse conference, well that hits fine arts, art, dance, theatre, and also kontemporer's music art. As what do have once created by Harry Roesli's the late," its says, in its gab with "PR", Friday (30 / 1), at Tamansari's Art Market Bandung's City.
What say so Mier Komara really don't false. In arts world chessboard at Indonesian, Bandung's city everlastingly give contribution that no most its point guess. That thing not only we can see on serious swan song, but also on pop art for music and mode area.
This problem, Fine Arts Faculty dean and Technological Institute Design Bandung Dr. Biranul Anas has once say, outlet's phenomenon at Bandung's City that mushrooms all over have given idea for another cities at Indonesian.
At see of history flank kind of that, its face, agents economic and art agent at Bandung's City prefers to create new opus. In their view, that thing better than continually been charmed by past success without can drawn out it or pets it with every consideration.
Creating thing a new one and then blowing up becomes phenomenon, as for example, can we see also on its appearance parade as same as Asep Sunandar Sunarya's marionette. Eventually, originally, there are many circle assesses that what does played Asep feel uniqueness. But then, in point of fact, that thing perhaps have too give influence on fashioned shadow play, one that no longer a hundred percents "pursuant" to pakem.
Fact and history really such marks sense. But then, Mier Komara more says, in art growth batiks, City Bandung may be told just haven't had individuality. Eventually, potency for that really mumpuni. Mier models what do at production by artists batiks at other region, as Abrases by scrape batik, or Cirebon by batiks megamendung namely awanan.
"Maybe correctness, up to now City Bandung not is known as city that memproduksi batiks. Since has no tradition kind of that, as it were Abrases and Tasikmalaya what do have history that long about that. Even such, in enter year 2009 as year of creative economies, what is its false artists at Bandung's City thinks up to come into the world it kontemporer's batik that its ikon processing comes from flora and the living one fauna at Bandung's City. In my view, ki's flower Cangkurileung's Peacock and Bird is Bandung's City ikon that disagreemant," Mier Komara's flat, Tasikmalaya's natal artist 1948, one that living at City Bandung since year 1965.
Mier Komara more says, the world batiks this adult getting get focus of a variety Malaysian afters claim on for society circle that art batiks theirs.
"Afterwards, how is its problem if pictured, pattern, and batik motif that at production by that Malaysia quite a kontemporer and not based on on image, pattern, and traditional batik motif that is at Indonesia? What in the context that such Malaysian state can't say that art batiks is their product? Get bearing thereto, artists art batiks kontemporer at Indonesian, notably at Bandung, shall self conscious for shortly list its copyright. Thus, if at claim by Malaysia or another states, can turn back to litigate or refuses it strictly," its speech.
In its bearing with that thing, Mier appreciates positive what do played Batik's Mader Tetet Cahyati, artist late lamented daughter Popo Iskandar. According to her, kontemporer's batik that at Tetet's production quite a escape of batik tradition writes that all this time is at Western Java. Fathom a meaning, escape of a variety image, pattern, and existing batik motif.
"What do at production by Tetet Cahyati is colour other of beat art life batik at beginning Bandung City writhes. I am certain not in forwards decade meter will there are many artist at Bandung's City that downwards becomes Batik's Mader. What is its reason? Since the one business farm this still give opportunity to be explored in such a way face, notably of nurginal pictured, pattern, and batik motif that dikreasi by artists it," clear Mier Komara, one that claims studying to draw autodidak's ala.
Other support that make batik developing gets to enable, her says, are world modelling that growing quick at Bandung's City. Beside it, even textile mill a lot of available at Bandung's City and Regency. Thus, artists batiks at City Bandung won't run out material to make swan song that dikreasinya that. "So, its supporting medium was formed. Now remained how we do work!"

Despite aforesaid problem, Mier says, Bandung's city as city of tour's aim of year goes to its year go on self tidy up. But on one hand, its face haven't yet noticed tour's sector at art area and ala culture no nonsense. E.g., in fine arts area, no museum fine arts that representatif. If there is, its content coming not only various fine arts opus as graphic art, paint, and statue, but also image sort, pattern, and art motif batiks to write, well traditional batik and also kontemporer's batik.
"All this time, to the effect at Bandung's City dikonsentrasikan to focus new to shopping centres and kuliner tour. Eventually, in is in fact, Bandung's city wallow in money with swan song, as fashioned as theatre, dance, and also karawitan. Admitted or not, it was touched and was made asset that aptly can money maker," Mier Komara Says.
Farther, Mier says, Bandung has another capital that enable batik art grows and amends. Its problem, Bandung has a lot of fine arts and textile faculty already have longevity.
On a basic that is, say Mier, her really hungers, on some day coming, there is kontemporer's batik art exhibition on a large scale that at production by artists Bandung's City.
"kontemporer's fine arts exhibition can be evened out, well national and also international zoom. Why are art exhibition batik kontemporer not? This question has we are answering with real action. We shall have done something after Bandung's City progress as center as tour's aim that can result foreign exchange for its society. This dream is observable beautiful really. I even hope such mark sense," say Mier Komara that have just shown off a number its paint opus at AOC The Peak Bandung and Jakarta National Gallery. (Soni Farid Maulana / "PR")***
