Details

Ghanaian artist Samuel Ashong signs a modern painting where numbers and math symbols in black and yellow take centre stage. The artist works with the traditional batik technique on cotton to craft a remarkable composition that comes with a cardstock mat, ready for framing.

"This is an abstract depicting the schemes and other conspiracies tax collectors develop in outwitting the citizens," the artist explains. "In the work are three figures in the background representing the tax collectors."

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.

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.
