Printmaking as a medium provides an opportunities and different approaches for <br /> <br /> artists to enjoy the process of self-recognition and the development of sensitivity <br /> <br /> in their techniques and ideas. Abstract formalism tendencies had become the main <br /> <br /> visual reference for the artworks discussed in this paper. The tendency of this <br /> <br /> abstraction emerged as a process of abstraction from objects distorted by artists. <br /> <br /> Therefore, this work is limited by the author's interest in abstract visualizations <br /> <br /> and is also limited by the intaglio and sugar-aquatint and embossing techniques. <br /> <br /> Traditional values that is brought inside this artwork refers to the sundanese <br /> <br /> traditional values from the writer’s social background, therefore this background <br /> <br /> helps as a medium to construct the concept and ideas. That is also the reason that <br /> <br /> the title for this final assignment is Kapegung: Unresolved Feelings. Meanwhile <br /> <br /> the use of English inside the title is adapted from the strong bond between the <br /> <br /> western world with printmaking and abstract visualization. <br /> <br /> The aim is to present non-representational elements and eliminate narrative <br /> <br /> content inside the artwork so that the art appreciators can see and feel the <br /> <br /> sensitivity of the writer as an artist through the composition of fields and lines that <br /> <br /> appear in the field of work. The theories used as a foundation are the theory of <br /> <br /> formalism, lyricism as the development of emotions in abstract works and gestalt <br /> <br /> theory as the basic for the continuity of the fragments inside the artworks. This <br /> <br /> paper also explains the historical foundation of intaglio technique in the form of <br /> <br /> sugar aquatint and emboss. <br /> <br /> These artworks are created for fellow artists and appreciators inside the process of <br /> <br /> artistic appreciation. Even aesthetic narration and sensitivities can also be seen <br /> <br /> through formal elements such as lines, the results of the transfer of found objects <br /> <br /> and composition between abstract fields. So that the sensitivity of artists can be <br /> <br /> reached and felt by the appreciator not only through representational works.
