Book Overview
In the 1980s a group of entrepreneurs in Ghana created small-scale mobile film-distribution empires, advertising the films with rolled up, hand painted, artist signed canvas posters. This new medium created the first opportunity for some of the best young painters in Ghana to express themselves on a public scale. In the frequent absence of an original image to work from, the artists created cinematic paintings that were largely interpretive and imagination driven. This unique art form is collected here accompanied with text by leading filmmakers and actors.
