| Trained in Ghana, Britain and the United
States, Dr. Ablade Glover is an established artist and acclaimed
educator who has made an enormous contribution to art worldwide.
He has a unique and instantly recognizable style, working in
oils on canvas and concentrating on marketscapes, townscapes,
forestscapes, seascapes and women. His paintings are shaped by
brightly coloured oil paints that Ablade applies with a spatula,
which gives them a rich texture and a singular dynamic. Thus,
his impressive urban landscapes attract viewers and invites them
to step in and become part of the bustling scene. He has carried
out myriad studies of the women of Ghana, which suggest a
certain fascination and reverence. His palette sweetens when he
paints women, producing canvases that are brimming with
self-confidence, elegance and power, with a subtle touch of
humour. |
