Description
Acrylic on canvas, Dereje Shiferaw (Ethiopian, born 1976)
Fruit of Paradise, 2024
100 x 100 cm
This vibrant painting features two figures, one dressed in a red outfit and the other in a yellow outfit with black polka dots. Their dark, expressive faces are stylized with exaggerated features, giving a sense of depth and emotion. The background is filled with an abstract mix of colours, including blue, white, red, and yellow, creating a lively yet textured atmosphere. The figures are posed closely together, with one arm interlinked, suggesting a bond or connection between them. The overall style blends abstraction with figurative art, making it visually dynamic and rich in narrative potential.
