Today is all about art and Id like to introduce you to a budding Ghanaian artist.
-Tell us about yourself
My name is Jasper Kyei(of JaspArt), a graduate of the Kwame Nkrumah university of science and technology where i majored in painting.I love to paint as much as i love to eat!
-Why did you choose painting?
Panting has always been my thing.As a child,it was the one thing that made me very happy and it still does.Also,id like to say that art chose me and not the other way round.
-What kind of paintings do you do?
I am very versatile but if i had to pin down one area,id say i do mostly abstract or semi abstract.
-What/who motivates you?
I'm highly motivated by my mentor, teacher and artist Mr James Nii Adjei Ala.
Additionally,I'm intrigued by objects I find in my locality and in this contemporary era it is less complex to use different materials in a piece.
-What is your niche as an artist?
As an artist I love to use bright colours and lines in most paintings that I do. It is similar to Takashi Murakami's works which have colour and play. I also pick objects because of their rich historical content.
-What is your opinion on art in Ghana?
In Ghana art has not really gone through radical changes. The conscious effort to preserve a culture has brought a slow development in the arts.
Artworks are thereby marginalized by many since it really doesn't connect to their daily activities.
