24.4 " W x 36.2 " H Weight: 0.43 kg -Oil on canvas -Signed by the artist -Arrives unframed -Unstretched Ships from NOVICA Office in Ghana NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, searches the world to work directly with the finest artisan designers. Tetteh Mpata paints a busy street scene featuring mummy-trucks filled to a brim. Loaded with people and other myriad things, these mummy-trucks travel many streets and roads and have now become part of Ghanaian folklore. A bold yellow sky lends vibrancy to this oil on canvas, as Mpata details the celebrated trucks amidst a background of abstract images. This painting will captivate the admirer of African custom. Handmade by Tetteh Mpata Born in 1964, Tetteh Mpata has been practicing art since the age of 17, his work always imbued with a sense of uniqueness and creative passion. Possessing a bachelor`s degree in fine arts and a post-graduate degree in education, he elaborates fantastic visions based in the beauty and history of his surroundings. He treats themes such as trade, music, dance, and fishing with compelling maturity. His work has been well received in several exhibitions within Ghana, as well as in Beirut, Lebanon. Currently some of his paintings are on display at the Ghanaian embassy in Washington, D.C., as well as Ghawaco in Ontario, Canada. When asked about his impressions regarding art, Mpata maintains that "the idea of trying to paint like someone because he or she is making it should stop, because this stifles the growth of art in the contemporary scene. Rather, artists could take inspiration from rich sources and be creative in the systematic process as a means of improving on the present. We should not lose our indigenous values but rather create with them." Says Mpata, "Art is with me and will continue to be with me for a long time."
