'Point of No Return' Art Gallery Paintings View by Region West Africa Modern 
Reaching an arm behind her, a young
mother steadies the child she carries on her back. She
wears traditional batik attire, although she has migrated to the
city. Emmanuel Atiamo Yeboa poses a dilemma affecting Ghanaians as
their country becomes more urbanized. Working with simplified line and
exquisite silhouette, he creates a dramatic image of haunting beauty.
"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 cloth, which are later glued together. Afterwards, I
dry and frame my collage work." This work of
art comes in a frame of tweneboa wood.
