PIASA presents, in partnership with ASPIRE auction house, a sale of African Contemporary Art on 14 February 2020 in Cape Town, South Africa.
Ablade Glover is originally from Ghana where he worked and taught. An internationally renowned artist, he studied at Kwame Nkrumah University in Kumasi, the Central School of Art and Design in London and in the United States.
Glover depicts the daily lives of Ghanaians; nature, the lives of elegant women and the market scenes where the crowds of towns and villages meet and gather.
The colours applied using his technique in thick layers and with a palette knife, abstract at first glance, reveal figurative scenes, lively atmospheres teeming with life.
