Black Love 2020

Cornelius Annor's 2020 painting "Black Love" depicts a couple seated on a green sofa against a yellow wall. The woman, dressed in a white patterned dress, lays with her head resting on the back of the sofa and her hand resting on her lap, while the man, wearing a black suit, sits up straight, his eyes fixed on a point outside of the painting's frame. The couple's legs are intertwined, and the scene is captured with a focus on their relationship, highlighting the intimacy of their connection. Annor's distinct style is characterized by the use of bold colors and expressive brushstrokes, creating a realistic yet stylized depiction of the couple. The painting's title and the subject matter reflect Annor's interest in exploring themes of love, identity, and Black representation in contemporary art.
