This captivating Folk Art painting on on board is by the fabulous British Canadian artist Nancy Patterson. It comes from her series ‘Days in the Desert Sun, Nights Under the Magical Moon’ , a compelling set of paintings in the Folk idiom made by Nancy about her life on the edge of the Desert in Southern Morocco. The paintings tell the narratives, the tales of the community that over the past eighteen years has become her home. Artwork details: Nancy Patterson, 'The tale of Bouderbala of Bounou, Part 3', acrylic on board, with frame 29.5cm x 38cm, 2014. Signed on the front. Professionally framed in a painted wooden shadow boxed. Ready to hang. Provenance, directly from the artist studio. Condition: in excellent condition. There is something very comforting about the term Folk Art, derived from the idea that a work of art is firmly rooted in the community it depicts. Folk Art can initiate feelings of splendid joy. It is often misjudged as holding less regard that some of its fine-art cousins but we need look no further than the fabulous British artist Alfred Wallis or the captivating Canadian painter Maud Lewis to understand that Folk Art can be just as complex in its formal arrangements, compositions and choice of colour palette. Another myth, possibly by those who could not explain the beauty in the Folk Art form, is that this type of art is the sole premise of artists who have had no formal training. This painting is an excellent example of a lyrical tale. It is as if with our gaze we traverse the painting, joining in the energy and movement of those in the painting. Nancy explains the tale, 'Bouderbala is the Happy Wanderer, a Pied Piper in Rags and Patches who travels carefree, alone or with his companions. He is one of the seven main Spirits in a Gnawa Leila Ceremony; he dances in a clownish loose-limbed way, but sometimes adds surprising acrobatic moves. Daoud is always cheerful like Bouderbala, as well as rather unpredictable. In his younger days his family wanted him to study Law, but he opted for Gymnastics. One day when we were out in the dunes and came across three Nomad kids playing Spin the Hoop with an old bicycle...
