Medium

Painting - Acrylic On Paper

Description

The image of this African Male was done in Contemporary Primitive Caricature Style with Acrylic Paint on Paper. The underpainting gives it texture and another ingredient worthy of conversation.

The Contemporary Primitive Art Movement was started by Cleaster Cotton in the United States of America in the 1980s. The range of art, by African Artists - from across the diaspora - makes Contemporary Primitive Art highly collectible. Artists use common, contemporary, resourced, and recycled materials in a basic, primitive manner and create soulful, cross-cultural art which evokes a sense of timelessness. Artists command sophisticated, expert use of materials offered them by any environment. The use of shape, line, color, texture, and tone is brilliant and, the demonstration of simplicity is genius!

Enjoy!
