Artist: Cheikh (Ché)

From: Dakar, Senegal

The soothing melody from the kora, sometimes described as an arched harp-lute, allows a group of five women to share a moment of reflection. This instrument is found across Africa, as are the mask-style faces of the women with exaggerated features.

The artist has included three pieces of woven straw taken from a storage basket to add texture and interest to the painting.

IMPORTANT: Ready to pin up or drape. If the buyer wants the canvas to be mounted onto canvas stretcher bars, this has to be organised separately by the buyer and usually costs £30+ to be mounted professionally, depending on the canvas size.
