  
 This traditional bark cloth painting entitled "The Family bond" and which represents the strong bond between man, woman and child in a family unit is a creation of the artist Gerrald Kabuye from Uganda. Gerrald painted this portrait with orange, white and black colors because of his artistic design to bring out the natural tones of bark cloth. The man and woman are dressed in colorful and traditional clothing, and the different curved lines that Gerrald painted within this portrait are meant to illustrate movement and symbolize unity and togetherness amongst the figures. Artist Gerrald Kabuye paints many of his portraits to depict traditional Ugandan families and villages and in this particular painting we see that the man and woman are holding one another as well as holding up their village. Gerrald illustrates the strength of the traditional African family and how this family's strength supports the life of their village.
This medium sized bark cloth painting measures 27" long and 13.5" wide. This is a wonderfully unique, traditional and originally hand-signed by the artist 'Kabuye' painting that will look absolutely amazing in a simple black frame.
