YOU'VE GOT TO SEE THIS!
YAW OBUOBI depicts indigenous life in Ghana with rare technique

Rhythmic Pulse is a series of meticulously crafted yarn collages by Ghanaian artist Yaw Obuobi. Astoundingly realistic portraiture alongside abstractive interpretations of traditional symbols and beliefs provides an enriching impression of indigenous life in Obuobi's native country of Ghana.

The exhibit is on view through SATURDAY, JANUARY 22. Don't miss the chance to experience this one-of-a-kind medium and exceptional imagery. [image above: Grace and Pomp]
