Description of the Painting
Anchor has its root in African tradition. It is an oil painting that beautifully depicts a major factor in stabilizing home, family and by extension the society in African traditional and cultural setting. Details attention was paid to every aspect of the painting - the human figures, the food, the stool made of offcut from Palm trees, the rubber slippers and the setting. All objects in the painting are artistical representation of unalloyed satisfaction and longing, beauty and contentment in addition to assured laughter, and stability in it's simple and purest form. They say "the way to a man's heart is good food". Good food is not enough, the manner of presentation also count.
