Provenance
Acquired directly from the artist;
A private collection.
Known for depicting those close to him, whether that be his friends or family members, Eric Adjei Tawiah's content is consistent in themes of affection and fellowship. With a focus on communicating the metaphysical presence of his subjects, works such as the present lot show the subject eyes downturned. It could be said that this removes a level of physicality in the subject, allowing the narrative to be communicated instead by the palette, composition and application of the paint. The present lo holds a harmonious palette of complimentary blue's and yellow's which dominate the space allowing a rhythmic and flowing piece.
