Mixed Media Painting of Man in Deep Thought, "'Discerning Through' (2017)"

Using a palette of warm yellows, oranges and browns that give a look of antique brass, the artist creates the image of a bearded man, head bowed deep in thought, inspired by his belief that "with discernment we are able to make good judgments and examine everything carefully." The swirling motifs reinforce the theme of working through decisions coursing through your mind. Evans Ofori of Ghana presents his work in a teak wood frame.
