He graduated from the Kumasi University of Science and Technology in teacher training education, the Central School of Art and Design in London in textile design (1959-62), and the University of Newcastle on Tyne (1964-65) in art education. He continued his artistic studies in the United States, earning an MFA at Kent State University (1971-72), and a PhD in Fine Arts at Ohio State University (1972-74). After his PhD, Glover taught at the College of Art at Kumasi University until 1998 where he became the Head of Department and Dean of the School of Fine Arts. Glover’s fascination with movement and colourful energy is evident in the palette knife application of thick impasto layers. In his abstraction of the crowd scenes, Glover draws the eye to the gestures of jagged movements accentuated by bursts of colour. He explores the theme of crowds in his body of work, within various scenes at marketplaces, city centres, beaches, bus stations and busy streets. Glover has been honoured with numerous awards for his artistic excellence and contributions to the growth of the Ghanaian art scene, including the Flagstar Award from the Arts Critics and Reviewers Association of Ghana (1998), the Alumni Award from the African-American Institute in New York (1998), the Order of the Volta in Ghana (2007), and the Millennium Excellence Award in 2010. He is a permanent member of the Royal Society of Arts in London. His works have been featured in many exhibitions internationally and esteemed collections worldwide, from the Royal Collection of Prince and Princess Takamado in Tokyo, Japan, to the UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, France.
