Signed Cubist Painting of a Musician from Ghana, "Play the Music"

Painting in a cubist style, Ghanaian artist Nii Dodoo uses colorful, splintered geometric forms to depict the image of a musician. His instrument and physical being weave and bend with the body of the woman beside him, forming an entrancing and emotive composition. Says the artist, this impressive painting explores "the expression of emotions through music."
