Kwadwo Peprah
Contemporary Artist.
Ghana-made.
My art is a form of documentation and communication. Like the ancient Egyptians who used figurative drawings and hieroglyphics to communicate and document history, I paint these figures to speak about the world. My paintings represent me, they represent emotion, they represent society, they represent culture, they represent livelihood. They are an act of documenting the present, reflecting on the past - and projecting the future.
Exhibitions
Kwadwo's residency at the Budapest Art Factory, which was founded by artists, was an incredibly enriching and enjoyable experience, filled with a strong sense of community. The connections he made and the collaborative atmosphere greatly enhanced his artistic practice, making his time at the Budapest Art Factory both memorable and impactful.
The 'Lucid Abstraction' exhibition, hosted by Blank Gallery, brings together 4 talented contemporary artists, who each in their own unique way explores the boundaries between clarity and abstraction.The artists in this exhibition challenge the viewer to see the world through their abstract lenses, and each composition is an invitation to a deep dive into their world.
As the Noldor Residency’s second Artist-In-Residence in 2023, Kwadwo Peprah presents ‘Nhwiren Fɛfɛ, Nhwiren A Ɛwu’ – a solo exhibition curated by Head Curator, Sally Polley. The exhibition showcases a dynamic body of work culminating from his dedicated research and artistic progress during his residency at Noldor.
