West African Metaphoric Expressionist Painting of God, "Daily Bread"

A man pounds corn with a mortar and pestle to feed to the hungry birds that flock at his feet. Sunlight plays across his benevolent features, conveying the warmth of his kindness. Working in a dazzling style all his own, Luqman Boateng selects a palette of clear, vivid colors. "This painting is a metaphor for the almighty God, the great provider who feeds every living thing in the universe," the Ghanaian artist says.
