Those the gods seek to destroy, they first make mad Painting

Masks feature in most West African ceremonies , religions and rituals drawing linkages between man (living), nature (environment) and ancestors (dead). The wearer is believed to be able to communicate with the being symbolized by it or possessed by who or what it represents. It has been suggested that, primitive man had used masks to associate the wearer with some kind of unimpeachable authority (Wikipedia) West Africa today is besieged with tons of 'men of gods' professing to be mediums channeling all kinds of messages from beyond. In the painting I am trying trying to create a linkage between our primitive practices and how we fail to see our modern practices are not that much different
