I cropped this painting out of the background on a portrait photo I was sent, because it really caught my eye. I believe it is a David Kibuuka painting (correct me if I am wrong).
I love the colours obviously, but there is something appealing about the abstract lines and separated shapes that still make up the details - the expressions on their faces, and the twist of the clothing, etc.
In fact this is what I found on his website: "
David Kibuuka is one the founders of "Modern Batik Art Painting" in East Africa where he introduced "Fragmentation" technique to traditional Batik Art. This modification added increasing background depth, broadness and a richer palette of colors to the batik painting, allowing this novel fine art medium to yield control, detail and richness comparable to oil, acrylic and water-color painting."
