Painting - Acrylic on Canvas - Penny Whistlers

Zach has made his name for his fanciful depictions of African stories and traditions in oils in his signature style based on print-making techniques, but he also loves painting scenes from everyday African life in smaller pieces using acrylics. Here he tells us about this piece in acrylic on canvas entitled Penny Whistlers, “We see the musicians moving between communities playing their penny whistles, bringing joy. Young people follow them, singing around them, sometimes giving a token of appreciation when people throw money or gifts to encourage them to continue their music.”
