Celebrate the vibrant fusion of African and Indian heritage with Dance of the Dougla, a captivating framed canvas print by Antionette Simmons Hodges.

This stunning artwork immortalizes the iconic Dance Theatre of Harlem performance, featuring dancers adorned in Geoffrey Holder’s legendary geometric-patterned robes against a backdrop of cobalt blue skies and a warm orange sun. Each element harmonizes to evoke the rhythm, unity, and cultural pride of the Dougla people—descendants of both African and Indian ancestry in Trinidad.

Perfect for cultural art enthusiasts, dance lovers, and collectors of meaningful heritage pieces, this artwork transforms living rooms, studios, offices, and galleries into dynamic spaces filled with storytelling and energy. It also pairs beautifully with other works in the collection, such as Carnival Celebratory Woman, to create a curated cultural narrative.

What makes this artwork special:

  • Cultural Legacy: Honors the Dougla people’s rich heritage and the Dance Theatre of Harlem’s historic performances.

  • Vibrant Visuals: Bold geometric patterns in red, blue, and white contrast with flowing black robes and a vivid sky.

  • Artistic Inspiration: Draws from Geoffrey Holder’s costume designs and Tania León’s composition, capturing movement and harmony.

  • Museum-Quality Craftsmanship: Giclée-printed on archival canvas with fade-resistant inks, ensuring longevity.

  • Ready-to-Hang Elegance: Professionally stretched with a sleek float frame for a gallery-ready display.

This piece is more than decor—it’s a tribute to cultural fusion, artistic excellence, and the power of dance to unite communities. The artist’s 30+ years of experience ensure authenticity and emotional depth.

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
Care Instructions

To ensure the long-lasting quality of your framed stretched canvas print:

  • Display indoors, away from direct sunlight, excessive humidity, air pollutants (like smoke), or extreme temperatures. These conditions may cause fading, warping, or mold over time.
  • Dust regularly using a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water, cleaning sprays, or abrasive materials, as they may damage the printed surface.
  • Lighting may affect appearance: Colors may look different under various lighting conditions. Our prints are calibrated for D50 (5000K daylight) viewing.
  • For minor imperfections, small nicks can often be touched up with waterproof felt-tip markers or artist-grade touch-up paint.

By following these guidelines, your canvas print will retain its beauty and vibrancy for years to come.
