wall art

A Dida cloth panel, Ivory Coast, circa 1960 The Ivory Coast displays a rhythmic arrangement of mushroom and bright yellow tones. The field is composed of bold rectangular motifs, achieved through the reserve-dye technique characteristic of Dida weaving traditions, creating a sense of depth and texture. The border is subtly defined by alternating bands of darker hues, enclosing the composition with balance and harmony. The Dida people of Ivory Coast are known for their inventive use of dyes and raffia-based weavings, producing cloths that are both utilitarian and artistic. This piece reflects their mastery of abstraction, where geometry and color work together to create a timeless visual impact.
