I was thinking of a Beauty and the Beast type relationship?

I am going to try to post more, but I honestly don’t know if I can promise much. I am not good at posting and staying active lol. This is going to be cross-posted around a few different sites that I am on.

Hand painted movie posters became popular in Ghana in the early 80's. It was during the time of the rise of the cinema culture in Ghana. Artists who were mostly painting on walls for automobile companies, bars, pubs, hospitals and schools on commission basis started painting exaggerated/ hyper-realistic images on flour sacks. These paintings were images from films that were showing in these cinemas. Some of these images were suggested by the owners of the cinemas, and the artists sometimes painted what they imagined scenes in the film to look like. A process painter @dajasperart has themed "imagination painting." The cinema culture grew and became popular, and the movie posters are believed to part of the factors that contributed to the rise. As time went by the cinema hype began to die down, but the painters were still painting the movie posters. Art dealers, galleries and collectors around the world started collecting these paintings. The paintings were shown in galleries and museums around the world. According to Mr. Frimpong, a lecturer at @ashesi university in Ghana says although the paintings became popular, people (collectors, art dealers & galleries) outside of Ghana didn't know the physical appearance of the artists behind these paintings. They were always exhibited in the absence of the artists. It is in view of this that @snydr and @thestudioaccra put up an exhibition & art Talk for @dajasperart last Saturday. Jasper is one of the early painters of these movie posters, and has lived through the evolution of this art form. Mr. Frimpong who's research interest is in Ghanaian pop culture said the presence of the artist at the exhibition is "historical" because it is the first time an artist who paints movie posters is at an exhibition of his works. . . 📷: Nana Osei - 2017 . . #thestudioaccra #Accra #Ghana #Africa #art #jasper #jasperart #movies #movieposter #painting #imaginationpainting #galleries #artdealers #collectors #research #exhibition #arttalk #artnewsafrica #streetstyle #streetphotography #everydayafrica #accrawedey (at Forico mall Osu)
