About this Item

South African 1949-
Baobab

signed

mixed media on nine canvas panels
251 by 301 by 2cm, unframed

Notes

Executed in 2011 this work was the realisation of the artist’s dream to produce a painting of impressive proportions which would incorporate a rich and diverse selection of her favourite subjects, colourfully attired African figures, cars, camels and birds, all assembled around and beneath the embrace of the most magnificent Baobab Tree against a golden sky. In the distance the sun reflects off a range of mountains, all of which combine to produce an unforgettable image glowing with light and life.
