This captivating painting by Minneapolis/St. Paul artist Kenneth C. Green presents a vibrant African village scene rendered in his characteristic acrylic style. A master of diverse media—including watercolor, pen and ink, mosaic, and wood—Green was a prolific and respected figure in the Twin Cities art world, known for blending cultural heritage with expressive modernism.

This piece, likely created in the early-to-mid 1990s, showcases Green’s dynamic use of color, rhythmic composition, and emotive storytelling. His works are held in numerous corporate collections and have been acquired by celebrities such as Paul Anka, Bob Hope, Queen Latifah, and Dionne Warwick.

As a founding contributor to the St. Paul Art Crawl and an active member of the St. Paul Art Collective, Green left an enduring mark on the local arts scene. This painting was personally purchased from the artist and has been well preserved in a private collection ever since. It remains professionally framed and ready for display—an exceptional addition to any collection of African or American regional art.
