West African Batiks

African Batiks: Batik Paintings are produced by brushing molten wax onto a piece of cloth. The cloth is then painted with or dipped into a dye that adheres to areas not covered by the wax. The wax is then removed, and the process repeated for each color used. It is an exceptionally time consuming process that yields an exceptionally high quality work of art. It is known that Picasso was heavily influenced by abstract African art of this style.

African batiks: This brightly painted batik is a handpainted masterpiece! This painting as well as most other batik works is abstract. The reason for this is that it is thought that if a face or person is painted realistically the evil spirits will see the picture and want to harm the person. Showcase the traditional look of African art at the same time displaying a contemporary feel. Sure to give your room a great look. Made in Ivory Coast 36"x46"
