Captivating titles of intimate paintings from artist Sami Bentil, whose creations flow from his heart’s deepest conviction, blending the history of his native Ghana (West Africa) with his passionate vision of world peace.

The seedlings of Bentil’s deeply rooted artistic philosophy were planted in his childhood. As a young boy growing up during Ghana’s struggle for and acquisition of independence from Great Britain in the 1950s, Bentil watched this human drama unfold on the streets of his hometown, Accra, Ghana’s capital city. With a keen eye, a sensitive heart and gifted hands, Bentil cultivated an extraordinary artistic talent.

Bentil’s work has received great recognition and acclaim in Ghana, as well as in other parts of the world. One of his earliest paintings, commissioned by the Ghanaian government to celebrate the country’s Silver Jubilee, is on permanent display at the Museum of Ghana. His work has been exhibited in the United States, England, Switzerland and Germany, and is widely collected in Europe, West Africa and North and South America.

Bentil’s paintings can be seen in St. Louis, MO - by appointment only - at the T.A.B. Company Inc., 5561 Enright Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63112. For details on the exhibit, call Annetta Vickers at 314.531.2130.
