Abstract


The current research on batik motifs is a continuation of previous research on batik, namely the old batik motifs, which originate from various districts in East Java Province. Research on batik motifs in the West and East regions has been carried out. So it is very necessary to have further research, which is still discussing the development of batik motifs from the Province of East Java, which is in the northern region. The discussion of this research is about the development of written batik motifs from Gresik, Lamongan, Tuban and Bojonegoro districts. The goal is the same as the two previous studies, to study the meaning and concept of the creation of motifs and their unique developments that exist in each of these regency cities. This research is a qualitative research, in the field of fine arts studies, because it is a study of two-dimensional images. The research subjects used visual language studies, myth aesthetics and cosmological philosophy, as well as methods and data collection techniques. The results obtained are in the form of basic patterns of meaning that cross all the history of tribes, through the batik motifs of the North, East Java Province, of the four regencies. Through this mythology, the position of man in his cosmology is described, trying to survave in his life, being safe and happy according to his position in the structure of this world. Through the concept of visual language, batik motifs in the North of East Java have the meaning of togetherness, as a form of collective prayer to face the current Corona-19 pandemic.
Keywords: motive, concept, meaning, myth, visual language
