Abstract

The high printmaking technique is a printmaking method that involves creating prints with a carved surface to produce images in relief. This study explores the use of waste wood as a printing plate medium, which offers unique textures and motifs thanks to the varying wood grain, as well as the effects of burning, etching, and coloring. This study aims to demonstrate the novelty of the high printmaking technique by transforming the printing plate into a work of art itself, notjust a medium for printing images. The work is analyzed by identifying visual elements such as line shapes, colorcombinations, planes, spaces, and composition. Furthermore, this study adopts Javanese methodology in analyzingsymbols and stylization of forms, with Javanese mythological objects such as dragons, wayang puppets, and birds. The method used is artistic research, which utilizes artistic practice as a research tool to generate new knowledge. Primary data was collected through observation, documentation, and related journals. The results of this study demonstrate that the use of waste wood as a printing plate brings a new dimension to high printmaking, introducing artistic andphilosophical aspects that enrich the world of contemporary printmaking.

Abstract

This article examines the transformation of Javanese tradition and mythology into a contemporary visual language through Sukamto’s relief print Batara Kala Lahir (1991). The study applies an art-based research approach using secondary data, including visual documentation, exhibition catalogues, and academic writings on Sukamto’s linocut practice. The analysis combines Susanne K. Langer’s symbolic theory, Feldman’s model of art criticism, and Panofsky’s iconological reading to identify formal elements, interpret symbolic meaning, and compare the work with classical wayang conventions. The findings show that the transformation occurs through three main strategies: deformation of wayang figures, substitution of traditional attributes with modern symbols, and reorganization of mythological narration into social critique. The sharp black-and-white linocut technique strengthens the tension between tradition and modernity, while symbols such as the firearm, skull, heart icon, and hammer-and-sickle tattoo reposition Batara Kala as an allegory of time, destruction, ideology, and moral crisis. The article argues that Sukamto’s work does not merely reproduce Javanese mythology but reactivates it as a critical visual discourse within Indonesian contemporary printmaking. The study contributes to the discussion of tradition-based graphic art by emphasizing iconographic transformation as a strategy for negotiating cultural identity and social reflection.
