Quartet Dancers stand tall and elegant, seemingly carved straight into the red soil of rural, Southern Africa. By choosing to apply the oil paint layer upon layer, the artist has managed to create depth, as well as produce an aesthetically pleasing tactile quality into this composition. Deep blood reds surround the golden circle of light, where our eyes are drawn to those Quartet Dancers. African Artists base their depictions of form in a style that reflects their beliefs and cultural traditions. Western Artists tend to depict realistic impressions of the world around them: Or, create forms in a style that reflect their own personal expression. Regardless of motivation, Quartet Dancers has been created with tradition in mind.
