Business as Usual Batik art

Samuel Ashong

(4)

"In Ghana we continue to have traditional ways of doing business, which are very effective and mainly done by women. They carry their wares on their heads, trays of fruits and foods, which they sell on the street or from door to door. They play a serious role in the development of Africa yet credit is not given to them, so this is my way of honoring them," explains Samuel Ashong. He masters batik techniques to portray six women carrying trays filled with fruits and food. Arrives with a manila card paper mat board.

Porters Handcrafted Batik Painting of African People from Guatemala

Emmanuel Atiemoh Yeboah

Designed and crafted by Emmanuel Atiemoh Yeboah, this artwork from Ghana depicts a trio of African women. One sits on a tray, one carries a tray full of foodstuffs, and the third carries an empty tray, her child slung over her back. The artist achieves this folk art composition using a variety of techniques. He utilizes the batik method to decorate several bits of cotton cloth, using a combination of colorful dyes with a wax resist. He then hand-cuts the designs into the artwork, replacing the cut-out portions with the colorful cloth that suggests the image of the women. This stunning piece of home decor arrives in a redwood frame.

Lovely

I purchased 2 of these trays--one for myself and one as a gift. I plan to use this tray if I am making a small cheese board. It is small, but it is beautiful. The colors are rich, the detailing is exquisite. I need to find a place to display it as it is too pretty to hide away!
