Meeting with venerated artist Ablade Glover, Artists' Alliance Gallery located in the Labadi neighbourhood of Accra, Ghana.

Ablade Glover (b. 1934, Accra, Ghana) trained in Ghana, Britain and the United States. Professor Glover has accumulated a number of distinctions, which show his importance as an artist and enthusiastic educator on the national and international art scene. Until 1994 he was Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Art Education and Dean of the College of Art at the University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana. More recently, in 1998, he was awarded the FLAGSTAR Award (top award for Arts in Ghana) by the ACRAG in Ghana; Distinguished AFGRAD Alumni Award by the African-American Institute in New York, and he is a Life Fellow of the Royal Society of Art in London. 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 almost invite them to step in and become part of the bustling scene.
