The Snake

"The Snake is an original woodcut print by Sabihis Pandi, a highly regarded Malaysian fine artist known for his mastery of intricate printmaking. Executed in dark reddish‑brown and black ink, the piece showcases his signature technique of dense, rhythmic, and wavy carved textures. The composition builds a powerful figurative subject, contrasting bold dark tones with raw paper lines to evoke movement, energy, and mythological resonance. Signed and titled in the margin, this work exemplifies Pandi’s distinctive approach to contemporary woodcut artistry.

Condition Note:
The paper currently shows noticeable foxing (brown moisture spots scattered along the borders). While the central ink image remains bold and unaffected, these spots lower the current appraisal value. A professional art conservator can clean and stabilize the paper to restore its value."
