Details

Ghanaian artist Bernard Mensah paints this memorable composition in the impressionist style, depicting a group of marketgoers against a background of blue. Says Mensah, "This popular market is the most prestigious among others. Traders who sell here make profits and return to their villages before noon." Reflecting Africa's market traditions, this painting makes a cultural addition to any home.

"A gift of remembrance"

I had your painting Possibility II stretched and mounted, and it is a beautiful piece! I plan to keep it in my home as a remembrance of my roots. I will pass this gift on to my family so that they remember where we came from and where we may go in the future if they make the right choices. I love this style. Keep up the great work!

"Nice painting but colors not the same"

I really like this painting. The colors on the one I received were much more muted. More pastel than bright red. It still works for me but a little disappointed still. The delivery was super fast. I had the item framed.

"Beautiful paintings I proudly display"

I have owned Market Street I and II since 2008, and since that time I have proudly displayed both in prominent locations in my home. Both are beautiful and exquisitely detailed, and I have received numerous compliments. They also inspire conversation - do they depict women at the market? The gates of heaven? I am now looking at adding a third Bernard Mensah work to my collection to display in my entryway and am delighted to see tall, narrow paintings that will work perfectly in the space.
