Signed Oil on Canvas Figure Painting, "Mind Snacks"

A solemn man cradles his head on one hand as he ponders life's many intricacies. Artist Frank Coffie in West Africa starts with a subdued yellow background and paints the man in dark, nondescript clothing. Using pink and red cotton yarn, the artist creates a striking textured element along the figure's hand and forearm, hinting at the man's rich inner life.
