Although the most well-known form of commercial art in Africa is the barbershop or beauty salon sign, those who paint those signs are truly accomplished artists. They are able to paint for anyone’s purposes and often advertise their own artistic talents painting whatever subject appeals to them, most commonly stars of sports and music, athletes and musicians. As in most of the world, football aka soccer, is the most popular sport and Ronaldinho has been one of its biggest stars, in Ghana and everywhere. This portrait of the great Ronaldinho measures 36 1/2 x 25 3/4″ (93 x 65 cm). It is painted on the back of a sign that was used for advertising an agency of the old phone company called Buzz (now called Tigo), thus it was recycled by the Ronaldinho artist.
