Signed Expressionist Painting of African Warriors from Ghana, "Warriors I"

Getting ready for victory, a group of warriors is depicted in this expressionist painting by Ghanaian artist Stephen Dede-Bamfo. He paints in an intriguing style, allowing the colorful composition to decompose into the beige canvas at the edges. Says the artist, "When you sit down, your enemies will overpower you, but when you stand up and face them squarely, you might be victorious. Don't sit down and wait; stand up and face the enemy."
