Ghana Stylized Signed Portrait in Primary Hues, "Style"

Stretching arms outward, a man shows the graceful line of the Ghanaian agbada, a traditional robe with wide sleeves. Gordon Amponsah depicts his subject through geometric shapes, adding rings and earrings of brass. "The mixing of lines is one way of styling attire for African men. This builds their confidence at ceremonies," the artist says. He presents the painting in a Manila board passe partout.
