Owusu-Ankomah

Man-Room-Signs

In this artistic cycle (1996-98) the ideal position of a human being in a space is sought after and counter-balanced, and the figure “coordinates” defined. These are often colored fixed points around the figure or in the figure itself. The heart, haven of feelings and wisdom, are always marked red. Expressive gesticulation and meditative concentration characterize these pictures. More and more symbols appear in the pictures, perhaps the bodies alone also entail mystic emblems The bodies are bright, flooded with light on a monochrome, bright red, blue or blue-grey background.
