West African Expressionist Market Painting, "Market Center II"
Ships Fast from the U.S.
Three women, one with a baby strapped to her back, huddle close to a fourth one sitting next to a basket full of goods to sell. Looking at the busy crowd on the market center, they patiently await their turn. Bernard Mensah seems to accompany them as he captures the busy energy of a Ghanaian market with a bright palette of acrylic paints.

"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.
Best Uses
- Catches the light beautifully, excellent conversational piece
