"The Pattern" emerges as a brilliant celebration of Togolese textile traditions reimagined through contemporary abstract expression. This compelling piece of African art draws its inspiration from the rich symbolic language found in traditional West African fabrics, particularly the geometric motifs that have been passed down through generations of artisans.
The artist works in a striking palette dominated by ochre yellow—a color deeply resonant in Togolese cultural contexts, often associated with prosperity, spiritual vitality, and the golden savanna landscapes. Against this warm background, bold black lines and white accents create a rhythmic visual language reminiscent of both traditional bogolan (mud cloth) patterns and contemporary urban expressions.
