'Drummer and Dancer'
Drummer and dancer join together for a moment, hands united, lithe movements represented by fluid silhouettes. Their rhythm impregnates this work by Emmanuel Yeboa, as the viewer is privy to one of their exhilarating performances. They hail from the northern part of Ghana, where drumming and dancing is an integral aspect of traditional culture. Lends a distinguished touch to any setting. Yeboa explains for us his process, "First and foremost, I assemble my working tools, after which I sketch images on the calico cloth. With the sketches done, I sprinkle red and green oil paints on the calico cloth to give it a simple colorful background. I then cut out particular places I intend to replace with batik, which are later glued together." Accented in drawing ink. Arrives framed in tweneboa wood.
