The central figure is a tall, angular woman in mid-stride — her small round head with a bold circle mark balanced atop a long neck, her body a column of bold fish-scale or net pattern marks in deep black, her legs long and angular beneath her. She carries a wide flat bowl or tray on her head, its surface decorated with bold grid-pattern marks. Around her, the composition is a dense, interlocking arrangement of bold abstract forms — on the left, a large bold purple concentric spiral disc and a bold arc form suggest a wheel or cosmic body; at the upper right, a tall dark triangular form with bold diagonal line marks rises like a building or sail; and in the lower foreground, bold sweeping arc and spiral forms in deep black fill the ground around her feet like roots or city infrastructure. The background is a glorious hand-dyed field of crackled batik texture in purple, lavender, pink, and teal — the characteristic crackle lines of the wax-resist process creating a rich, atmospheric nocturnal surface. Signed by the artist in the lower right. Presented in a tall black frame with wide white mount. A work of great visual complexity and urban energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal one-of-a-kind artwork — not a print or reproduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBatik on paper — traditional wax-resist hand-dyeing technique\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubject: African woman striding through abstract city night scene\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRich nocturnal palette — purple, lavender, pink, teal \u0026amp; deep black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassic batik crackle texture throughout the background\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresented in tall black frame with wide white mount (included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReady to hang — a perfect statement piece or collector's artwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFramed: 20 inches (height) × 10 inches (width)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnframed: 12 inches (height) × 4 inches (width)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Artisan's Village Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56457588670630,"sku":"ART-061","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/9407\/5302\/files\/IQP_8898.jpg?v=1778449949","url":"https:\/\/shopwithavc.com\/products\/african-woman-in-the-city-at-night-original-batik-on-paper","provider":"Artisan's Village Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
