 Alfred Conteh’s non-objective exploration of form, rhythm, composition and texture in his
sculptural assemblages calls forth the kind of visceral response that is usually associated more symbol-laden visual forms. Working primarily in wood, he creates powerful geometric
constructions that reveal a profoundly contemporary spirit and a desire to move his audience to both think and feel. A creatively restless artist, Conteh has also produced an impressive
body of representational work that mirrors experiences and symbols of everyday life and tackles social issues, often with more than a touch of irony and humor.
Conteh is a native of Georgia and received his MFA from Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, GA, and a BFA from Hampton University in Hampton, VA. He has had a number of solo and group exhibition in Georgia and the South.
