I totally enjoyed this painting. Right from the composition
to the color combination to the finishing touches.
Two male and female figures from Royal family are portrayed
in an abstract style.Male figure with large gold bead necklace and
golden band on the forehead, is the tribal chief. I always
golden band on the forehead, is the tribal chief. I always
love the way the African ladies wear their headgear. You will find
them in several of my paintings. There are the Adinkra symbols
that are related to Royalty.
The circle in the center is called "Adinkrahene", which is
chief of all Adinkra symbols and symbolizes greatness, leadership.
The symbol "Gye Nyame" which is showed halfway in a rectangular
shape shows the supremacy of God, that no one is above God.
In the upper right corner below the circle in green color is the design
of "Kente" cloth. Kente cloth is woven in bright, narrow strips with
complex patterns; it's usually made from cotton and is always
woven outdoors, exclusively by men.Kente cloth is a festive cloth
and is traditionally worn during the festivals and the religious occasions.
Upper right and left corners are the umbrellas. During the festivals ,
tribal chiefs and Queen mothers are shaded with these traditional umbrellas.
These all are combined with some geometrical shapes used in textile designs.
There is a lot to see in this painting .Hope you enjoy this painting as much as I enjoyed.
