ZEBRAS AT A WATER HOLE A WORK IN WOOD AND STONE BY ATHAR ABBAS

Artist: Athar Abbas

This work marks another digression away from Pakistan. Mr Abbas says that he is interested in all animals, especially donkeys, which he calls "social workers" and the wild African animals.
  In this picture, the zebras are carved from pieces of wood and then painted; they and the trees in the background (which are made from twigs and herbs) are two dimensional.
  The foreground is composed of crushed stones and the pool and sky have been painted with oils.
  The wooden frame is handmade with crushed stones in the corners which are the artist's signature.
