'Life Cycle'

Emmanuel Atiamo Yeboa explores the different stages of life, illustrating them by depicting women. Seen in profile, one is pregnant while another cradles her newborn in a shawl on her back. A third plays with a toddler who will soon grow up and begin his own family. Yeboa works in oils on calico, adding cutouts of batik cloth for the gowns and turbans. Other details, such as grass, are created with pen and ink. Original and beautiful, arrives in a frame of tweneboa wood.
