'Dancers and Drummer'

Reverberating to the insistent rhythm of drums, joyous feet pound the earth in an intricate story-dance told with the entire body. Emmanuel Atiemoh Yeboah captures the energy of a Ghanaian festival in a kinetic composition of color and vibrancy. "First and foremost, I assemble my working tools, after which I sketch images on the calico cloth, " Yeboah explains. "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 or kente cloth, which are later glued together. Afterwards, I dry and frame my collage work." This brilliant mixed media on calico comes in a red wood frame.
