Out of Africa
(Above top) Out of Africa
(Above below) African Woman
Two new small paintings (12.cm x 15cm) in mixed water based media (indian ink, acrylic ink, Caran d'ache Neocolour II) on 100% cotton rag, acid free paper.
Having never been to Africa, my idea of the black African woman is shaped largely by cultural representations of her. An illusion perhaps, but one that has its own reality.
