Shaka – Oil Painting by Dieter Roth

Oil on Canvas | 120 x 140 cm | Original / Unique | 2025

Discover "Shaka," a monumental masterpiece by artist Dieter Roth, brimming with rhythm, pride, and archaic energy. Expressive surrealism meets modern tribal art – a powerful bridge between contemporary painting and African tribal art.

The Artwork:

The canvas is a fascinating mosaic, in which several stylized, mask-like faces and hypnotic pairs of eyes intertwine, fixing the viewer frontally and powerfully. Clearly defined, organically curved color fields are framed by strong black contour lines. Red, chain-like formations recall traditional neck jewelry, while patterned leaf shapes and spiral snail motifs symbolize a deep connection to nature. The brilliance and layering of the classical oil paints lend enormous plasticity to the contrasting segments.
