Ghanaian Women in Silhouette in Original Acrylic Painting, "Gossip"

Artist Nii Teiko Aryeetey in Ghana captures a moment in time between two Ghanaian women. They pause and chat about the events of the day, their babies resting on their backs. He refers to his style of painting as "Linenism"; the idea came to him from watching streaks of rain water as they were blown into slanted lines by the wind. The lines almost seem to echo the rhythm of the women's easy conversation.
