ABSTRACT

Environmental influence is among the factors that shape idealization and thinking, which in turn form the mindset development of every human being; this is no exception for Malay print artists in their creative works. Therefore, this study examines the environmental factors that influence Malay artists in the production of print artworks, with a focus on form and meaning. To achieve the objectives of this article, qualitative research was applied using field study methods and theory-guided subject analysis. Through field study methods, a total of three Malay printmaking artists in Malaysia were selected for analysis of their works. Meanwhile, the analysis was conducted based on Terry Barrett's theory, focusing on the form and meaning of selected works. The study findings also show that the environment impacts the productivity of artwork by providing inspiration and impact through visual art. Each artist interprets their environment in a unique way, which is evident in the symbolism, themes, and styles they apply in their work. In conclusion, the artist's environment not only significantly influences their ideology and creativity but also has the potential to produce deep and compelling print artworks in visual form. This study highlights the importance of understanding the environmental context that influences artistic production and its impact on art analysis.
