• Obatanpa  ^new
  

  PRICE: 89.95

  I believe that every woman is good," says Emmanuel Atiamo Yeboa. "A good mother always attends to and give the utmost care to her children when they are in need of something. She loves and feels for them whenever they are in pain." This colorfully silhouetted portrait emanates profound sentiments of love, gracefully representing complex maternal emotions. An important West African theme conveyed through oils on cotton cloth. Obatanpa means "good mother" in the Twi language of Ghana. The artist 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 kente or batik, which are later glued together. Afterwards, I dry and frame my collage work." Wrapped about stiff board, the painting arrives framed in tweneboa wood.

• Water Carriers  ^new
  

  PRICE: 97.95

  Silhouetted in the late afternoon sun, women return to the village balancing water jars on their heads. Emmanuel Atiamo Yeboa deftly evokes their weariness as they carry the heavy jars, yet captures their beauty and slender grace in colorful batik cloth. A common sight throughout West Africa, women seek far and wide to obtain a clean source of the vital, life-sustaining liquid. "First and foremost, I assemble my working tools, after which I sketch images on the calico cloth," Yeboa 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.
