Beach Boys 

"Beach Boys" is a painting by Walter Battiss, a South African artist known for his unique style that blends European influences with African art. This vibrant painting depicts four figures on a beach, their bodies rendered in a simplified, almost childlike manner. Battiss often used this style to emphasize the essence of his subjects, capturing their form and emotion with bold strokes and contrasting colours. The painting, set against a backdrop of crashing waves, evokes a sense of carefree abandon and the joy of being by the sea.
