Special 'Art Tasting' @ Straits Restaurant

FIRST LOOK from Premier Art

"Glue"
ARTIST: Alfred Conteh

PRICE: $1000

Alfred is a narrative artist whose works are often inspired by humanity and social issues.

NARRATIVE:

Glue is a painting about the importance of God and family in one's life. In the background, symbols are repetitively patterned to drive home the importance of the image in the foreground. The magnets are symbolic of the emotions and experiences that keep us together. The infinity symbols represent the eternal love and grace that God bestows upon us all.



The foreground is simply a representational symbol of what "glue" means to me. A father sits at a table with his two sons for breakfast. The folding chairs and table reflect that they don't have much money but the fact they are in prayer, together, before they start their day represents their wealth of faith and love. This is strong glue y'all. - Alfred Conteh
