This bold and captivating artwork by Antionette Simmons Hodges is a celebration of movement, culture, and the artistry of dance. Inspired by a memorable performance by the Dance Theater of Harlem at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, the piece pays homage to the striking geometric robes designed by Geoffrey Holder for the Dougla dance. The vibrant patterns of circles in red, blue, and white against the dancers’ flowing black robes create a mesmerizing sense of rhythm and unity.

Set against a rich cobalt blue sky and a warm orange sun, the composition evokes the energy and grace of the performance while honoring the cultural heritage of the Dougla people—a blend of African and Indian ancestry. The dancers’ synchronized movements, captured in bold, clean lines, reflect the spirit of storytelling through dance and the beauty of cultural fusion.

This giclée stretched canvas print, crafted on archival-quality canvas, ensures the vibrancy of its colors and the precision of its geometric details endure for generations. Perfect for lovers of dance, culture, and vibrant art, Dance of the Dougla brings a sense of movement and celebration to any space. Ready to hang, it’s a stunning addition to your home, office, or gallery.

Product Details & Legal Information

Canvas & Materials

Our framed stretched canvas prints combine fine art quality with a refined, gallery-style presentation. Each piece is printed on thick, archival-grade poly-cotton canvas that is pH-neutral and acid-free, preserving the artwork’s vibrancy and preventing yellowing over time. Using giclée printing technology, the colors are rich, true-to-life, and protected with a durable, semi-gloss coating to resist scratches, smudges, and fingerprints.

The canvas is expertly stretched over solid, warp-resistant wood stretcher bars and framed in a sleek, professional-grade frame. A black backboard and wire hanger are installed on the reverse, making the piece ready to hang immediately upon arrival.

Framing

This premium fine art option features a thick, archival-grad polycotton blend canvas, carefully hand-stretched over 0.75" deep wooden bars for lasting durability and museum-quality presentation. The artwork is then mounted in a modern float frame, leaving a subtle ¼" gap between the canvas and the frame’s edge to create a sleek, “floating” effect.

Each piece is professionally finished with a black backing, protective wall bumpers, and a wire hanger—arriving ready to hang.

Frame Color Options: Black, White, Gold, or Silver

Canvas Depth: 0.75"

Style: Modern float frame with a clean, gallery-ready finish

To maintain the quality of your stretched canvas print, display it indoors away from direct sunlight, high humidity, or extreme temperatures.
