Adam and Eve 1986

"Adam and Eve" (1986) is a woodcut by the Namibian artist John Muafangejo (1943-1987). The work depicts the biblical story of Adam and Eve's expulsion from the Garden of Eden, a common theme in Muafangejo's work. The artist's signature style is evident in the bold black and white lines, intricate detail, and use of Ovambo iconography. The artwork portrays the figures of Adam and Eve surrounded by various animals, including birds, snakes, and insects. This woodcut is a powerful testament to Muafangejo's artistic vision and his unique blend of traditional and modern elements.
