Welcome to Awuku Art. Showcasing the
artwork and talents of Traditional African Artist, Isaac Kwame Awuku.
Isaac Kwame
Awuku is perhaps one of the foremost Ghanaian artists
alive today. Kwame's sculptures represent aspects of
life throughout rural Ghanaian culture. Each piece is
individually hand-crafted with no two pieces exactly the
same. He has exhibited throughout the world and has made
unique contributions both to the American and
International Art worlds.
Kwame's
conviction that acrylic paintings have a significant
place in the contemporary art of the African continent
has led to the creation of his unique style that defines
the cutting edge of African Art.
Awuku's
paintings radiate both movement and color. Using a
palette knife in place of a brush and starting with
simple shapes, his paintings accumulate weight by a
process of repetition, to create dynamic images out of
static planes. "This is the only way that I can
communicate directly and register my feelings
spontaneously", he says.
