Kwezi Owusu-Ankomah

Ghanaian 1956-2025 

Owusu-Ankomah was a contemporary Ghanaian artist who lived and worked in Bremen, Germany. His work utilises Adinkra symbols, which are Ghanaian icons that represent concepts or adages, to address issues of identity and the body. His paintings are other worldly depictions where figures interact and collaborate with these Adinkra images.

From 1971 to 1974, Owusu-Ankomah studied Fine Arts at Ghanatta College in Accra, Ghana. He exhibited throughout Germany and in countries such as the UK, USA, Senegal, and South Africa. He collaborated on a clothing line with famed designer Giorgio Armani for the Red Campaign, which helped to fund the fight against AIDS. His works are included in important collections such as the British Museum in London, UK; the Detroit Institute of Arts in Detroit, Michigan, USA. National Museum of African Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, USA; and FirstRand Bank, Johannesburg, South Africa
