African Canvas Painting Conspiracy_African painting on canvas_Ghana.JPG

Conspiracy by Albert Babatunde, Acrylic on Canvas, 2013 is work that explores the socio-political dimemsion of Ghanaian (West African) African society. This particular painting focuses on the Traditional systems of Leadership where village elders are constantly discussing the issue of de-stooling one perticular chief in order to install another one. Chieftaincy disputes are a great source of creating wealth for contemporary elders in Ghana. The painting classically depicts the image of traditional elders from northern Ghana or northern Nigaeria.
