African Abstract House with Three Figures — Original Batik on Paper

Monumental, totemic, and radiating with architectural power — this original batik on paper is a tall, narrow-format abstract composition of a traditional African house form rising from three tall patterned figure-columns, their bold dark forms topped with large circle heads beneath a dramatic triangular roof, rendered in deep black with intricate hand-drawn pattern details against a shimmering hand-dyed background of pink, rose, and warm white. The composition is dominated by a single unified form — at the top, a bold wide triangular roof in deep black with bold fine diagonal line marks rises dramatically to a sharp apex, its dark mass anchoring the upper composition. Beneath the roofline, three large bold circle forms sit side by side like heads or windows — their interiors filled with bold concentric ring marks in deep black and pink. Below the circles, three tall narrow columns descend the full length of the composition — each filled with the artist's signature pattern marks: the left column with bold concentric spiral marks, the centre column with bold vertical stripe and dot marks, and the right column with bold fine dot-texture marks — their forms suggesting both architectural pillars and elongated human figures. The background is a glorious hand-dyed field of crackled batik texture in warm pink, rose, and white — the characteristic crackle lines of the wax-resist process creating a luminous, atmospheric surface. Signed by the artist in the lower right. Presented in a tall black frame with wide white mount. A work of great formal power, architectural beauty, and symbolic depth.
