Black Face Mummers

Title
Black Face Mummers
Artist

Medium
Painting - Oil On Panel
Description
These are a local group, who occasionally appear on the streets of the towns hereabouts, and give vibrant performances of dance and music based on the traditions of the black-face mummers. The masking and dance traditions go back centuries and seem to appear in different forms in many different cultures around the world. I found this group to be very entertaining, but also with a suggestion of menace, which I couldn't quite put my finger on, but which I have tried to allude to in the painting.
