Artist: Lay

From: Mbour, Senegal

This breathtaking painting made up of 4 separate canvases brings to life the journey of a man back to his family home as he punts across the shallow water in a pirogue boat, made from a single hollowed-out tree.

On the far right canvas, there is the silhouette of a Resplendent Quetzal perching on the branch of an iconic acacia tree. On the centre-left canvas, two woman can be seen pounding mealies in preparation for the evening meal. On the far left canvas, two fishermen can be seen discussing whilst they barbecue fish.

Individual canvas sizes are: Centre canvases - 25x80cm, Outer Canvases - 40x50cm. Best presented mounted on a wall with a 5cm gap between each canvas.

IMPORTANT: 2/4 of the canvases are mounted on stretcher bar frames (ready to hang up). The central canvas had to be removed from their stretcher bars for safe transport back from Senegal. To be mounted onto canvas stretcher bars, this must be organised separately by the buyer and can be £30+ to be mounted professionally.
