Details

Beached at the edge of the sea, fishing canoes dry in the shadows of swaying palm trees. This exquisite batik by Samuel Ashong whispers in cool shades of blue. "In the coastal area of Ghana where I live, fishermen do not go fishing on Tuesdays," the artist says. "As Tuesdays are regarded as days of rest, the canoes are parked." Ashong presents the work in a mat board passe-partout, ready for framing.

“Beautiful Batik”

The art is beautiful and will be a great addition to our home. The packaging did protect the batik, but the matting is creased on one entire short end.

“Distinctive and vibrant”

This was the first piece of art I ever bought - I wanted something that captured my love for West African music. The colours are so intense without being jarring. My mum has a piece by the same artist and loves it too.
