Mike 

"Mike" is a portrait painting by Alfred Conteh, a contemporary artist born in 1975. The painting features a close-up depiction of a Black man with a beard, wearing a black t-shirt with the word “DOPE” printed on it in a light blue color. The man is standing with his arms crossed in front of him, and the background is a textured golden surface that resembles tree bark. The painting is executed with bold, realistic brushstrokes and vibrant colors. Conteh's work often explores themes of identity, masculinity, and the Black experience. His use of a unique color palette and expressive brushwork create a powerful and engaging portrait.
