Delivery EstimateBeached at the edge of the sea, fishing canoes dry in the shadows of swaying palm trees. This exquisite batik by Samuel Ashong whispers in cool shades of blue. "In the coastal area of Ghana where I live, fishermen do not go fishing on Tuesdays," the artist says. "As Tuesdays are regarded as days of rest, the canoes are parked." Ashong presents the work in a mat board passe-partout, ready for framing.
