African Cotton Batik Wall Art, "Kundun Festival"

A simply and superbly designed collage work by Emmanuel Yeboah, portraying two local musicians dressed in traditional batik attire. They are participants in the Kundun Festival, celebrated once a year to honor the chief of Ghana's villages. Silhouettes strike a breathtaking harmony, while sparse colors stimulate the discerning eye.

Yeboah describes 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 and kente, which are later glued together. Afterwards, I dry and frame my collage work."
