Signed Modern Painting of a Loving Couple from Ghana, "Black Love II"

Celebrating intimacy, a man kisses the small of his lover's back. This painting by Ghanaian artist Dio captures the beauty of romance as well as African people. He uses watercolor and ink with rulers to decorate the painting with the uniform lines of mathematical diagrams that fill empty space and the bodies of his subjects equally. For the artist, this unique and busy style can expertly reflect the experience of a passionate moment.
