Details

The kora is a string instrument, similar to the guitar, used primarily by people of the northern region of Ghana. Here a man is portrayed with his harmonic muse, dressed in traditional batik clothing and silhouetted in black ink. He suggests an intoxicating melody - one that has traveled long distances to inspire with sweet resonance. A musical vision to display in the home.

Yeboah explains for us his process, "First and foremost, I assemble my working tools, after which I sketch images on the calico cloth. 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 batik, which are later glued together." Accented in drawing ink.
