Original afrikanisches Gemälde von Festivaltänzern, "Damba-Tanz"

Loosely defined figures rendered with bold strokes of a palette knife distinguish this original oil on canvas from Maxwell Boadi of Ghana. The artist's assertive technique lends movement and energy to the artwork, which depicts the traditional Damba dance of northern Ghana. "In a world like this," muses the artist, "one must know his or her own culture."
