From its northern deserts to
its southern rainforests Africa is a diverse continent: Possibly one of the
most diverse continents in the world and not just with regards to its
landscape; but also with regards to its people: Each of Africa’s ethnic
societies having their own particular spiritual beliefs and cultures. This is
greatly reflected within the country’s art although there are certain aspects
that do unify all African arts: One of them being the subject of the human
figure.
Many great oil painters of the
twentieth century were inspired by the simplicity and informality of African
art. The tall and elongated figures of African Trio are classic representations
of the human form within African art: Although they hold a certain modern
sophistication that reveals a more developed eye for simplicity and awareness
of expression.
Within Africa the human figure
is symbolic; dancers are a particularly popular subject as are women carrying
out their daily chores. Both of which are featured within the African Trio.
Color is used to represent character and the ambience of the moment. The earthy
tones and tints of African Trio are cool, calm and collected. Many contemporary
African artists remain true to traditional styles: And many contemporary art
works are influenced by African art: Because like this oil painting – It will
always intrigue.
