Ex-Voto, Retablo, Painting on Metal, Mexico , Prayer to St. George, Folk Art
Located in Houston, TX
This retablo was purchased by the gallery in Mexico City. I knew the family that sold this retablo to me. The writing says" Puebla 1940,. It is a prayer to St. George thanking him that his dog saved him from being attached from a snake. He is is thankful that his dog was not bitten by the snake. Bernardino Pantoja This ex-voto is in excellent condition. It is framed behind conservatorship glass. The framed size is 14" x 15". The class should only be cleaned with ammonia free cleaner. An ex-voto is a votive offering to a saint or to a divinity; the term is usually restricted to Christian examples. It is given in fulfillment of a vow (hence the Latin term, short for ex voto suscepto, "from the vow made") or in gratitude or devotion. Ex-votos are placed in a church or chapel where the worshiper seeks grace or wishes to give thanks. The destinations of pilgrimages often include shrines decorated with ex-votos. Ex-votos can take a wide variety of forms. They are not only intended for the helping figure, but also as a testimony to later visitors of the received help. As such they may include texts explaining a miracle attributed to the helper, or symbols such as a painted or modeled reproduction of a miraculously healed body part, or a directly related item such as a crutch given by a person formerly lame. There are places where a very old tradition of depositing ex-votos existed, such as Abydos in ancient Egypt. Especially in the Latin world, there is a tradition of votive paintings, typically depicting a dangerous incident which the offeror survived. The votive paintings of Mexico...

Folk Art Painting, Female Canadian artist, Morocco Desert Fox, Moonlight Palms
By Nancy Patterson
Located in Norfolk, GB
This atmospheric Folk Art painting on board is by the fabulous British Canadian artist Nancy Patterson. It comes from her series ‘Days in the Desert Sun, Nights Under the Magical Moon’ , a compelling set of paintings in the Folk idiom, made by Nancy about her life on the edge of the Desert in Southern Morocco. The paintings tell the narratives, the tales of the community that over the past eighteen years has become her home. Artwork details: Nancy Patterson, 'The Desert Fox', acrylics on mahogany plywood, unframed 24cm x 25cm, 2005. Initialed on the front. Provenance, directly from the artist studio. Condition: in excellent condition. There is something very comforting about the term Folk Art, derived from the idea that a work of art is firmly rooted in the community it depicts. Folk Art can initiate feelings of splendid joy. It is often misjudged as holding less regard that some of its fine-art cousins but we need look no further than the fabulous British artist Alfred Wallis or the captivating Canadian painter Maud Lewis to understand that Folk Art can be just as complex in its formal arrangements, compositions and choice of colour palette. Another myth, possibly by those who could not explain the beauty in the Folk Art form, is that this type of art is the sole premise of artists who have had no formal training. There is something intriguing about paintings by the moonlight. Nancy uses the effect to emphasis the three main characters, herself, Daoud and the fox! Nancy narrates the painting, 'Daoud on his way to meet a local Elder, known as the Desert Fox, while a four legged Fox lurks about the background. Most men in the desert area around Mhamid wear traditional garments- a Gandoura (on Daoud) or a Djellaba (on the Fox) which look elegant when the wearer is just standing around or sitting on a camel, but a little strange on a bicycle or motorbike with a Shesh (turban) flowing in the breeze. A Shesh makes any man look good, and provides protection from sun and wind; almost all Moroccan men wear a Shesh most of the time, except when donning an unsuitable for the climate, western suit...

This captivating Folk Art painting on on board is by the fabulous British Canadian artist Nancy Patterson. It comes from her series ‘Days in the Desert Sun, Nights Under the Magical Moon’ , a compelling set of paintings in the Folk idiom made by Nancy about her life on the edge of the Desert in Southern Morocco. The paintings tell the narratives, the tales of the community that over the past eighteen years has become her home. Artwork details: Nancy Patterson, 'The tale of Bouderbala of Bounou, Part 3', acrylic on board, with frame 29.5cm x 38cm, 2014. Signed on the front. Professionally framed in a painted wooden shadow boxed. Ready to hang. Provenance, directly from the artist studio. Condition: in excellent condition. There is something very comforting about the term Folk Art, derived from the idea that a work of art is firmly rooted in the community it depicts. Folk Art can initiate feelings of splendid joy. It is often misjudged as holding less regard that some of its fine-art cousins but we need look no further than the fabulous British artist Alfred Wallis or the captivating Canadian painter Maud Lewis to understand that Folk Art can be just as complex in its formal arrangements, compositions and choice of colour palette. Another myth, possibly by those who could not explain the beauty in the Folk Art form, is that this type of art is the sole premise of artists who have had no formal training. This painting is an excellent example of a lyrical tale. It is as if with our gaze we traverse the painting, joining in the energy and movement of those in the painting. Nancy explains the tale, 'Bouderbala is the Happy Wanderer, a Pied Piper in Rags and Patches who travels carefree, alone or with his companions. He is one of the seven main Spirits in a Gnawa Leila Ceremony; he dances in a clownish loose-limbed way, but sometimes adds surprising acrobatic moves. Daoud is always cheerful like Bouderbala, as well as rather unpredictable. In his younger days his family wanted him to study Law, but he opted for Gymnastics. One day when we were out in the dunes and came across three Nomad kids playing Spin the Hoop with an old bicycle...
