African Abstract Two Figures with Bowl — Original Batik on Paper

Mysterious, totemic, and pulsing with abstract energy — this original batik on paper is a tall, narrow-format composition of two elongated abstract figures standing side by side, their bold patterned column bodies topped with two circle heads, a wide decorated bowl balanced overhead with a bold arc handle rising above, rendered in deep black with intricate hand-drawn pattern details against a shimmering hand-dyed background of blue, purple, pink, and green. The two figures are rendered as a unified form — their bodies two tall narrow columns descending the full length of the composition, the left filled with bold concentric spiral marks and the right with bold grid and cross-hatch marks, a small bold circle form glowing between them at mid-body. Above the columns, two bold circle heads sit side by side — their interiors filled with bold concentric ring marks in deep black and yellow-green. Above the heads, a wide flat bowl or vessel form decorated with bold zigzag and chevron pattern marks in deep black is balanced overhead, a bold sweeping arc handle rising from its rim like a crescent or rainbow form. The background is a glorious hand-dyed field of crackled batik texture in blue, purple, pink, and green — the characteristic crackle lines of the wax-resist process creating a rich, luminous surface. Signed by the artist. Presented in a tall black frame with wide white mount. A work of great abstract power, symbolic depth, and visual complexity.
