Artist Statement for Nii Ahene -La
|
|
|
I am a multi-mediaist who enjoys combining mixed-media to create.I find that to be satisfying and not burdened by monotony. Even though I enjoy working with different materials, there are always situations that call for a straight oil, watercolor or acrylic painting.
Generally, I work in series allowing me the flexibility to take on a theme that is the outgrowth of the series - develop a cluster of work that follow a network pattern from the main theme. Most artists create individual paintings or whatever in contrast to how I create. I prefer to have a theme or a story to tell - what I refer to as my statement.
I am inclined to address the subject of spirituality in my work with less political underpinnings. I have made some exceptions to this when prevailing conditions in the world dictate my feelings. Few examples in that genre is the "Hip Hop Kid" and "Dafur." There are others but not part of the visuals.
