Faruq and Nasir 

"Faruq and Nasir" is a portrait by Alfred Conteh, a contemporary artist known for his realistic depictions of African subjects. The painting portrays two Black men, an older man wearing a tie and glasses and a younger boy holding a box. The figures are set against a textured background of yellow and brown, creating a sense of depth and complexity. The composition is simple, with the men's bodies positioned in a way that suggests a close relationship. The focus on the eyes and the intense gaze of the figures adds a sense of gravity and introspection to the work, making the viewer consider their story and the issues it may represent.
