Please join Ghanaian artist Otis Kwame Kye Quaicoe to discuss his latest solo exhibition ‘Fragments of History’ in a conversation led by Hazlehurst Art Centre’s Director Sebastian Goldspink.
In this new series of paintings, the artist explores the remnants of colonisation in his hometown of Accra, Ghana. The portraits are built up using thick layers of oil paint, often incorporating found objects and patterned collage. References to colonial era uniforms and architecture slowly reveal fragments of histories shared across cultures.
Location: COMA, Booth E04
