Conrad Egyir’s imagery is bold and colorful, distinguished by his use of text, portraiture, and narration. His vibrant paintings honor Black bodies, symbols of the African diaspora, and spiritual motifs, and reflect his experience as a Black immigrant. Egyir flattens the human figure, alluding to graphic design within popular culture, and arranges texts, human figures, and African diasporic symbols against crisp, sparse backgrounds. After his canvases are finished, he embellishes their wooden frames with texts and symbols.   Eros. Allegory of Love is from a series inspired by the allegory of Eros, the Greek god of love, in which the artist pays homage to eight different types of love: bond, battle, home, movement, voice, peace, God, and self. Egyir’s depictions include a woman in three different forms, reminiscent of traditional Christian depictions of Mary or Christ surrounded by smaller figures; a figurine of a panther, citing the Black Panther Party as a contemporary symbol of Black power; two Akrafena swords, an ancient Ashanti comb, and a model of a stool, which refer to the glory of the Ashanti/Asante Empire (1670–1957). Lastly, Egyir frames the painting with the words “Unbesmirched, Our Affinity, Unbesmirched, Our Passion,” reinforcing the main subject of self-love.
