In the 1930s, Nyonya Oeij Kok Sing produced some of the most exceptional batiks of her career from her workshop in Pekalongan. These include works with a kaleidoscopic combination of colours and unique background filler motifs.
In this talk, Peter Lee examines how an unassuming nyonya became an important Indonesian master of modern colour and design.
