A stylised depiction of motherhood by Cuban artist Wifredo Lam, 'Mother and Child II' combines Surrealist and Cubist influences with Afro-Cuban imagery. The painting features abstracted figures in earthy tones against a background of blue and black.
Wifredo Lam (1902-1982) was a Cuban artist whose work fused Surrealism with Afro-Cuban themes. He is known for his distinctive style that combines elements of Cubism, Surrealism, and the imagery of Santería, an Afro-Caribbean religion. Lam's art often explores themes of identity, cultural hybridity, and the relationship between humanity and nature. He spent time in Europe, where he was influenced by artists such as Picasso and Miró, before returning to Cuba and developing his unique artistic vision. 'Mother and Child II' exemplifies Lam's mature style. The painting features a stylised figure of a mother and child, rendered in earthy tones of brown and pink against a background of blue and black. The figures are simplified and abstracted, with elongated limbs and mask-like faces. The composition is divided into distinct planes, creating a sense of depth and spatial ambiguity. The use of colour is restrained, with a focus on tonal contrasts and subtle gradations. The painting evokes a sense of mystery and ritual, reflecting Lam's interest in the spiritual traditions of his native Cuba.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
