Three expansive art floors were exhibited in the cool marble gallery, exhibited by famous artists such as Owusu Ankomah and George Hughes, whose paintings reminiscent of Jean Michel Basquiat, Willem De Kooning, and other painters. It is a new and upcoming artist such as Ebenezer Borlabie. Market, country and urban scenes are full of political satire – of course, Glover himself has caged characters and intermittent crowd scenes.”
“There are also collectors’ works: Asafo logo appliqués and embroidered symbols; Akan and Ewe’s ancient banded knit Kente fabrics; African masks; and finely carved furniture. Also on display are crabs, running shoes and eagle-shaped full-size coffins. Everything is for sale.”
