Signed Cultural Expressionist Painting from Ghana (2018), "Okomfo Anokye"

Dancing proudly against an abstract background, Okomfo Anokye is paid homage in this painting from Ghana. Active in the late 17th century, Okomfo Anokye was a fetish priest, statesman, and lawmaker attributed with the co-founding of the Ashanti kingdom in West Africa. Leopold Twum paints this historic figure in an expressionist style, his skirt made from jute fiber attached to the canvas.
