Details

Samuel Ashong designs and creates this unique cotton print using a traditional wax-dyeing technique called batik. Wax is applied to the areas that should stay un-dyed and the rest of the material is dyed, giving every print a unique patterned design. This print depicts three young women carrying pans on their head and is a representation of the young women who migrate to the capital city of Ghana for work. The artwork is signed by the artist.

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.
