Before there was Twitter, there were drums. Acrylic painting of an African villager delivering a message by use of drums.
Behind him rises a thatched hut framed by tropical plants and banana leaves, all woven into a dense field of bright geometric shapes and saturated color - yellows, greens, blues, purples, and oranges. Thick outlines and interlocking patterns give the scene the rhythmic energy typical of Walters’ naïve, cubist-influenced style (the “melting age aesthetic” associated with his teacher Nzante Spee).

Before social media, drums carried news, announcements, and stories through Central African villages. This painting turns that everyday cultural practice into a vivid, joyful image of communication, tradition, and tropical life. Its modest size and strong color make it an easy, affordable way to bring Cameroonian village energy into a home or office.
