About the Item

Native American woman sits around a small hut as spirits fog a deep blue sky during a purification ceremony, also known as a sweat. The sweat is intended as a religious ceremony, with its purpose being for prayer and healing. Every aspect of a sweat lodge ceremony, from the construction of the lodge itself to the prayers offered, is imbued with deeply spiritual symbolism. The shape of the lodge is intended to represent the womb of the Earth, which renews and purifies those within it. The painting shoes women, thick with contemplation, exciting the lodge whilst the spirit-laden smokes spill into the sky. The painting has been finished in an impressionistic manner, mirroring the surreal atmosphere of the experience. The deep blue frame quietly harmonises and resonates with the entrancing hues of the painting's palette. The artwork is also signed, dated and inscribed in the bottom right-hand corner. On canvas board.

Extra-Large Dutch Contemporary Abstract Portrait By Hans Bouman
Located in Frederiksberg C, DK
An exquisite contemporary painting by Dutch artist, Hans Bouman. In this painting Bouman creates a captivating interplay of colors and forms that gives rise to an enigmatic abstract face that invites interpretation and contemplation. This captivating large-scale abstract painting is a harmonious blend of warm white, earthy tones, invigorating orange, and calming blue hues. Hans Bouman, born in the Netherlands in 1951, embarked on his artistic journey at the Amsterdam Graphic School and the Gerrit Rietveld Academy of Fine Arts. During the early 1980s, Paris became his haven of inspiration, where his debut in galleries marked the onset of an international presence that continues to flourish. Bouman's artistic evolution is characterized by cycles of creativity, but it is his larger-than-life hieratic heads that he is renown for. These remarkable pieces pay homage to influences as diverse as the Moai sculptures of Easter Island, the intricate masks of Africa...
