Abstract

This study examines the creative process behind the illustrations of the fantasy novel "Warisan Dua Dunia" inspired by the Lontong Cap Go Meh tradition in Hok An Kiong Temple, Surabaya. This tradition is an interesting example of Indonesian and Chinese cultural acculturation. A qualitative descriptive method with observation, interview, and documentation techniques was used in this study. The theoretical framework used includes Visual Language (Tabrani) and The Big Triangle (Mc Cloud). The results showed that the creative process of the novel illustration began with observation and reflection on the Lontong Cap Go Meh tradition. The researcher combined the results of observation and reflection with personal experience to form a personal interpretation visualized in a manga style. Imaginative and realistic visualizations inspired by Chinese culture enrich the work's aesthetics and transport the reader into an imaginary world full of meaning. This study shows that the combination of contemplation, personal interpretation, and manga visual style produces a work that is not only relevant to the younger generation but also opens up new interpretation towards tradisi Lontong Cap Go Meh di Kelenteng Hok An Kiong.

Abstract

The relief panels depicting the Angling Dharma story on the Jago Temple offer a valuable resource for researchers, similar to the Kresnayana story reliefs in Prambanan. These reliefs serve as visual narratives, conveying the Angling Dharma epic. The sculptors meticulously selected key scenes from the text, translating them into captivating visuals and arranging them within individual panels. These panels, when assembled, form a cohesive narrative of the Angling Dharma story. In a modern context, this sequence of panels resembles a movie, unfolding the story through a series of images. To encompass the entirety of the narrative within the confines of the relief's surface, the sculptors employed a distinct drawing method known as the "space-time-flat" system. This approach differs significantly from modern Western artistic conventions. The unfamiliar style can pose challenges in interpreting the depicted scenes. This research proposes a descriptive and qualitative analysis of the "space-time-flat" method used in the Angling Dharma reliefs. By delving into this unique drawing system, the study aims to glean valuable insights that can be applied in the creation of various visual media. The analysis can shed light on artistic practices that predate the arrival of Western drawing techniques with their emphasis on naturalism, perspective, and single-moment depiction.
