De lá: «The Ghanaian artist Kwesi Botchway creates spirited portraits of Black figures of all generations and walks of life, engaging in activities like dancing and celebrating a birthday, or posed in comfortable confidence. “I don’t want to just produce realistic work but works that speak loud and can prompt dialogue,” the artist says in a statement. “My focus is to be more conceptual, focusing on the language of colour. I want to elevate Blackness and also what Black truly represents.” Many of the works on show at the Armory were created during a residency at Gallery 1957’s space in Accra, while the artist was under lockdown restrictions during the pandemic, and reflect on “an unprecedented moment of both sensitivity and survival”, the gallery says».
