Keba Konte works by assembling surfaces of found and salvaged wood, furniture parts, copper and other materials rich in texture and history.  He then paints, burns and distresses these materials and finally imbues his own photographic images into the surfaces in order to create multi-layered works of art which explore socio-political aspects of African Diaspora.  These elements are held together by his mastery of formal balance, a keen sense of composition and fine craftsmanship.  His more recent work has progressed into the realm of sculpture and site-specific installation.
