Signed Acrylic Figure Painting from West Africa, "Gossip II"
Two friends share a bit of town gossip as they go about their day. West African artist John Atta Mensah paints with fluid brushstrokes, using color blocks to move the painting from dark to light. Cool blues shift to light yellow as the women chat in the changing light.

"Very disappointing"
The artist has an obvious talent, but he takes no pride in his work. It is done quickly and shabbily, on a cheap canvas without any great effort. It arrived rolled the wrong side in (paint side up is the proper way) and totally crushed. It was packaged in a thin sheet of rolled corrugated board. The painting looks great in the picture, but it a real let down in real life. It was purchased for a project to represent contemporary international young artists, so I could not return it. This painting needed to be restored and restretched at a great additional cost. I am not happy with the purchase at all!
