Joan Abrahams "signed" Beautiful vibrant watercolour from a reknown artist. Size is 52cm by 46cm with frame and 27cm by 22cm for the painting only. In excellent condition.
Joan Abrahams has many paintings in private and corporate collections in countries around the world. She works in watercolour, gouache and ink as well as in acrylic and oil. She has had several shows, both locally and in the UK. She was born in Johannesburg, South Africa and is both an educationalist and an artist.
In her first series, entitled "The Shadow Of My Marrow On The Wall" Abrahams created 20 paintings incorporating images of Africa. Twelve of the paintings included African mural designs, mainly from the Basotho but also from the Ndebele and other tribes. Traditionally, murals were painted on the walls of their homes by women as decoration and symbolic prayers and messages.
Abrahams created her own 'walls' on which she superimposed words, phrases and marks. These depicted basic primal drawings, inspired by a range of stimuli which impinged on the artist's psyche, experience and imagination. They covered a spectrum of images from as wide a field as Mbuti pygmy drawings and traditional African designs on one hand, to images from the artist's medical history, on the other.
