Experimenting with Traditional Motifs

' Behind The Wall ' 26" x36" Oil on canvas 2012


' Mai Ruwa ' 48 x 68cm Oil on canvas 2007

I started this experiment years ago. It's supposed to be an infusion of silhouette-like images with traditional motifs as design elements. As for the choice of colors, I want to restrict myself to complimentary colors now. ' Behind the Wall ' is about a couple eavesdropping very close to the door and ' Mai Ruwa ' is Hausa language for ' Water carriers ', this is about men water-peddlers in the city. While some push their wares around on carts others carry theirs on the shoulders. The next piece should be ready by this weekend.

Thanks for viewing, God bless you.

NB. These works are also available for sale.
