CROSS AND CROWN

Capturing the business of the moment on the stillness of a canvas, a typical Ghanaian open market scene welcomes all those who embrace hard work and untainted success. As the biblical adage goes "the hand that will not work, the same should not eat", so does this painting depicts the hustle and bustle of a regular day at the market. The market women carrying on their heads loads either bought or to be bought, and the men ready to load and offload items at a fee. It is a moment of reality, depicting the ups and downs of life, with everyone looking forward to that day of victory and success and rest. And even if we could not make it today, we will rest for now, for surely the sun will rise again tomorrow.
