Abstract

Batik Kompeni is one of batik style with a typical Cirebon ornaments variety, including the popular coastal batik area. It is estimated that the Batik Kompeni emerged in the 1800-1900s period during the Dutch Colonialism in Cirebon. The ornamental variety of the Batik Kompeni shows the results from the aesthetical acculturation process between local and European ornaments during the development of batik ornaments in Cirebon. The Dutch businessmen that interacted socially with batik artists and craftsmen in Cirebon in the early 19th century is thought to have contributed on developing Batik Kompeni production in Cirebon, that later distributed in the north coast of Java Island. In the future, the decorative ornaments of Batik Kompeni have inspired many modern batik artists, craftsmen, and entrepreneurs until now and have become one of the most popular batik patterns. This paper is the result of research tracing the aesthetic acculturation of the Batik Kompeni ornaments. The method of qualitative analysis in this research is through documentation of the Company’s Batik ornaments and literature studies, as well as field surveys and interviews with artists, batik craftsmen and batik collectors. The results showed that the openness of the batik craftsmen and the creation of batik ornaments in the Cirebon coast were dynamic, which has enabled the acculturation to occur. Batik Kompeni continues to grow until now into various ornaments which eventually became a typical Cirebon ornament.
