Batik

Shakil Khatri isn’t just making batik; he’s turning the craft upside down and shaking it up. His art is a lively mix of sharp wit, bold patterns, and a streak of unpredictability— transforming Batik from its industrial connotations into a medium of cultural significance and expressive power. With a keen eye for pattern and a knack for innovation, he uses traditional wax-resist techniques as his foundation, but takes the art far beyond its usual boundaries. His pieces play with texture and form, inviting viewers to look beneath the polished surface as layers of wax and pigment reveal an underlying depth and complexity. Through his expansive canvases, he challenges traditional perceptions and invites viewers to rediscover what batik can be.
