Josephine Baker - painted green matooke leaves - fine art prints

from £100.00

Josephine Baker danced topless in an iconic banana skirt proudly flaunting her African heritage on the world stage. Instead of drawing her on stage, I envisaged her back home on continent of Africa, posing atop green matooke (banana) leaves. Her stance is powerful and she goes after what she wants.

Technique

The original artwork is comprised of hand cut black card and bold golden brown Ugandan batik fabric and painted with water colour.

The artwork is available to order as a fine art print in A4, A3, A2, A1 and A0 on watercolour paper.

Print specifications

Natural white cotton watercolour paper akin to traditional etching paper. The paper is cotton based, unbleached and made to museum archival specifications. The inks used are premium quality Epson Ultrachrome K3 pigmented inks. These inks are remarkably stable and under normal conditions will not fade for 100 years and beyond.
