Neighbourhood Painting

A painting by :

Obada Gabir -

In this evocative black and white ink drawing, Obada Gabir captures a slice of everyday life in "Neighbourhood." A young boy sits confidently in a traditional donkey cart while a woman in flowing robes walks alongside, navigating the bustling streets. Behind them, a dense urban landscape unfolds with characteristic African architecture - flat-roofed buildings, narrow passages, and geometric patterns. The intricate cross-hatching and bold linework create depth and texture, transforming an ordinary neighborhood moment into compelling visual storytelling.
