Abusua Payin 2020

Cornelius Annor's 2020 painting "Abusua Payin" depicts a group of men sitting together, their faces and bodies painted in dark hues, their expressions contemplative. Annor's signature style blends traditional Ghanaian portraiture with contemporary visual language, resulting in a powerful portrayal of communal gathering and shared experience. The work is characterized by a vibrant palette of greens, blues, and reds, highlighting the intricate patterns of the men's clothing. Annor's use of bold strokes and thick paint emphasizes the solidity of the figures and creates a sense of depth and intimacy within the composition.
