Hailing from Ghana and based in the UK, Anne Blankson-Hemans brings a special vibrancy to her street scenes and tabletop still lives. Her attention to detail brings a documentary feel to these often exotic vistas, though she eschews photorealism in favour of comic-strip immediacy and bright colours that focus attention on key subjects.

Like Yinka Shonibare, Blankson-Hermans finds inspiration in those multi-hued fabrics we describe as 'African' and as an associate member of the Society of Women Artists, she has clearly found her metier.
