Jon Bagul, Professional Batik Silk Painting

Jon Bagul, born in Sabah and now living and working in Kuala Lumpur, elevates the traditional art of batik to something sublime: his light, detailed brush strokes and refreshing combinations of vibrant colors allow the viewer to step into his paintings.
The uniqueness of his designs, which still retain traditional elements, are not just popular with residents of Kuala Lumpur but are also selling well to personal collectors from around the world. Recently one of Jon's paintings was presented to the Chinese President by the Malaysian Prime Minister at a ceremony to celebrate Sino-Malaysian relations. No better artist could have been chosen to represent both the traditional and modern aspects of art in Malaysia.

Batik painting, using as it does, silk as its basis has enabled Jon to extend his work into soft furnishing and interior design accessories, including table runners and tablecloths, floor and throw cushions. These unique and desirable items, all with his trademark flowers are garnering interest from many quarters and he has been enjoying commissions from local corporations, private individuals and foreign and local dignitaries.

Not surprisingly, given the comprehensive range of decorative items Jon Bagul can create he was asked to decorate the Heliconia Restaurant in Jalan Tangsi, Kuala Lumpur, with paintings and table runners.

Whether you are looking for a one-off exclusive painting to enjoy in your own home, or maybe a few cushions and soft-furnishings for a redecorating project or even a full complement of paintings and themed table accessories for a restaurant or boutique hotel Jon Bagul will be able to provide you with stunning works of art that will be admired by all who see it.

Nothing wrong with it, yes, as long as you inform others where you get it from! just like putting citations in writing papers, if you dont do it then it's a violation of intellectual property right? now put it in the context of this whole Batik business... If Batik is a car, Ford shouldnt claim property on Jaguar cars!
