Sun-drenched and effortlessly glamorous, Dada Khanyisa hand-finishes an archetypal holiday snapshot.

In a location defined only by pale blue ocean and burnt orange sky, the artist’s subject shelters her face from the sun. Partially-abstracted shapes and graphic outlines present a modern take on Cubist sensibilities – a common stylistic throughout Khanyisa’s paintings and sculptures.

The delicate design of the woman’s floral tattoo has been hand-finished by the artist in oil-based pencil, making each print unique.
