Up for sale is a fantastic painting on silk by GRACE SELVANAYAGAM - well-known Malaysian artist.  It is signed on the bottom front, "Grace '67" and on the back, "Grace Selvanayagam" and titled, "UNINHIBITED".

GRACE SELVANAYAGAM (b. 1936, Negeri Sembilan) experimented with abstract natural forms, using the local flora and fauna as reference. She worked with a variety of mediums, including batik and other textiles, as well as screen prints and graphics. She later taught art and art history appreciation at La Salle School of Art and Music in Singapore, and subsequently became a leading scholar on songket textile. Grace wrote Songket: Malaysia’s Woven Treasures, which was published in 1990.

The piece is professionally framed and measures approximately 37" x 36".  The white wooden frame is 1" thick in depth.  There is significant damage to the frame - stains, browning, chips and cracks in the paint.  It has a thin wooden backing, which is also damaged.  It is cracked, warped and has some water damage.

The piece itself has some issues, as well.  There is some water damage on the right hand side, and some other spots and stains.

Still, it is a beautiful piece with colorful shades of pink, yellow, blue, green and gold - an excellent investment and a superb example of this great artist's work - a perfect piece for any collector!  

Other small dings here and there.  Please note shipping charges (especially international buyers).
