Alfred Amadu Conteh

Alfred Amadu Conteh (born 1975) is an American sculptor, painter and mixed-media artist.

Along with paintings, Conteh creates organic contemporary sculpture that uses symbology to express his narratives of the African American southern experience.

His exhibition at Tubman Museum in 2015 in Macon, Georgia, caused a stir amongst religious leaders who found his piece "Preacher Pimp" offensive.

"[3][4] Alfred Conteh's recent series, "Two Fronts", is a visual exploration of how people of the African Diaspora in the South are facing economic, educational, and psychological wars.

"Conteh’s treatment of his subjects affirms the centrality of these people as representatives of the human condition: the mothers and workers and children and hustlers as worthy of their own commemoration.
