Maruvian Celebration Mask

Original - Oil on canvas
11" x 14"

Inspired by a mask from Ghana used for comical story telling and celebration. The use of bright colored ribbons attached to the mask, waving in the wind as the dancer prances about bringing much laughter is part of the celebratory mood. I wanted to capture the motion and joviality of the moment in the celebration through the use of Plastic Space abstract.
