DESCRIPTION

“The Timekeeper” Print on Canvas: This is a high-resolution digital print on canvas from an original acrylic painting that captures the full moon hanging like a lamp in its full brightness, illuminating a woods trail on a dark evening enough for residents to coordinate their activities. A unique piece of art that highlights the impact of cultural astronomy in the continent.

Cultural astronomy exists in numerous traditions in Africa where Africans are known to use celestial knowledge to chart seasons in order to plan economic tasks, schedule, and coordinate both work & social activities i.e., agricultural cycles & market days, divination, festivals, spatial design, decision-making, etc. The moon in particular is an embodiment of the pan-African sense of time with its predictable and regular phases inform, illuminate, and regulate the average African living experience.

The Original painting is available FOR SALE 36 x 24 Ready to Hang on wooden frame. Made in Africa; on the streets of Lagos, Nigeria by Jamiu.
