Acrylic Cubist Painting, "Performing Artiste"

Ghana's Gordon Amponsah explores the cubist style with this beautiful musical study. With an elegant minimalism and three-hue color scheme, he depicts a piano and a yellow drum. "My simplification and stylization of the human figure is in keeping with the delicate line, shape and color qualities of African music," the artist explains. He presents the original painting in a Manila board mat.
