I) 

EFUA NYARKOA by Bernard Acheampong; acrylic on canvas, 2020.

Size: 36 x 26 inches.

The artist utilises 5 layers of paint in an impasto technique with a realist rendering of the female figure. 

The rich textile adornment is unmistakable as are the accessories. The figure’s eyes engage the viewer fully. The totality references a confident high class female; a Royal.

Number of bids: 1

Current highest bid: USD 1400

Reserve not met.

II) 

EFUA NYARKOA by Florence Sottie, beads on plywood, 2020.

Size: 28 x 40 inches.

Sottie uses a plethora of beads in earth tone colors for the background and portrait. The figure imparts a restrained deportment – gravitas.

The headscarf and blouse in off white reference a priestess of the traditional African religion; a wise, knowledgeable and disciplined custodian of arcane secrets.

Number of bids: 1

Current highest bid: USD 1900

Reserve not met.

Ill)

WINNIE MANDELA by Isaac Nii Aryeetey, buttons and cloth on plywood, 2020.

Size: 36 x 24 inches

The buttons have led to a pixillation of the figure. 

This in addition to the kente cloth renders the figure in 3 dimensions with the added changes in figuration  depending on the viewing distance.

The artist has thus been able to communicate the depth and complexity of the life of Winnie Mandela.

Number of bids: 2

Current highest bid: USD 1500.

Reserve not met.
