About the Item

Signed lower left. Features inlaid abalone and eggshell. Lacquer is a traditional material used in Vietnam. It requires intense skill and extensive time to achieve and perfect, with most paintings requiring at least 6 months to be completed by an artist. The surface is coated in lacquer sap and then polished, producing a smooth, shiny black surface. The artist then takes hot lacquer to sketch, with colors added layer by layer after the underlying layer has dried. Through years of experimentation, modern artisans have adapted traditional methods to include new materials, such as eggshell, gold, silver, or vegetable ash, resulting in a dimensional, complex finished work.

Mother and Child
Located in San Francisco, CA
This modern mid-century composition of mother and child is by Fernando Oramas (1925-2016.) It is an interesting composition, with the mother in side profile and her child staring ahead at the viewer. The painting is composed of oil on canvas and measures 18” x 14” (24” x 20” framed). It is signed in the lower right. On the reverse is Oramas’ name and address in Mexico. Oramas lived in Mexico in the 1950s and 1960s and this painting appears to date from that time, based on the style and the frame. The painting is in very good condition. The distressed wood frame goes very well with the painting. It is in fair to good condition, with some light scuffs on the edges that allow the wood color to show through the grey stain of the frame as well as a very small bit of separation between the pieces of the frame. Please look at the signature photo for a good image of a section of the frame. Oramas had a major exhibition of his work in St. Petersburg, Russia in 2016. Oramas studied at the School of Fine Arts of the National University, located in the old convent of Santa Clara, in the Center of Bogotá, where he met teachers, trained in renowned academies in Europe.
