Maruvian Baluba Mask Diptych

Original - Oil on canvas wrap

10"x 10" top and 10"x 20" bottom 

The ancient Luba (or Baluba) were often a ferociously warlike people when confronted by the colonials trying to occupy their lands. They had rich and diverse artistic traditions, and much of their strength is reflected in the masks. This is a two part painting (diptych) capturing the power and strength of this mask in the signature style of Plastic Space abstraction.
