West African statues on Trojan wooden horses; elements of Cubism, Vorticism, Futurism, Constructivism and Africanism mixed with corey shells and Kente patterns and bright colourful flashes of tropical magic. This is a National Treasure; A Masterpiece that shows the Art World that Ghana has arrived.

Simplistic coloured concrete donkeys on Psalm Sunday heralding in a new age of enlightenment for the peoples of Africa. Perhaps, the most loved country on the Continent Ghana; a countPsalm Sunday heralding in a new age of enlightenment for the peoples of Africa. Perhaps, the most loved country on the Continent Ghana; a country at the heart of West Africa, all-too-often over shadowed by its powerful and aggressive neighbour to the East, whose constant Niger Delta programme seems to have misted the true purpose of Art and the importance of competing with the rest of the world.

This is a work of Art that all Africans, on the Continent and off, should be very proud of. Stunning in it’s execution and brighter than any fireworks display over the Thames, Hudson or Seine. This artwork should be regarded as a true African Masterpiece.
