Artist: Cheikh (Ché)

From: Dakar, Senegal

This painting depicts a man playing the Kora, sometimes described as an arched harp-lute. This instrument is found across Africa, but with diverse variations in music style, rhythm and tempo. The classic and interesting African patterns behind the instrument, as well as the mask in the top left of the painting attempt to convey the culture in the man’s musical performance, despite the viewer of the painting not being able to hear him.

IMPORTANT: It is 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.
