Bearden pioneered mixed media collage works that combine bold color, paper layering, and expressive figuration on canvas, closely mirroring the material and visual language seen in The Amethyst Pair. His integration of collage with painted surfaces creates the same dynamic tension between materials that defines Taku's approach.

Crosby creates contemporary mixed media works that layer paper collage, acrylic, and transfer imagery onto canvas in a bold and colorful manner highly consistent with Taku's practice. Her work shares the same contemporary African artistic sensibility and commitment to building rich visual narratives through layered materials.

Anatsui's work similarly emphasizes layered mixed media surfaces with expressive, abstract, and colorful qualities that resonate with the bold contemporary approach of The Amethyst Pair. His commitment to building complex visual narratives through assembled and collaged materials reflects the same artistic philosophy evident in Taku's work.
