Each collection circles one preoccupation from a different direction. Step into any of them.
The labour, faith and tenderness of contemporary African life
Figures drawn from the Cape Coast and beyond — fishermen hauling the day's catch, a mother folded around her child, women moving in their Sunday best. These works refuse the flattening of African life into a single note. They hold labour and leisure, devotion and play, grief and impossible brightness in the same frame.
Conceptual works that argue with the present
The pieces that keep me up at night. A man watches the end of the world through headphones. Two suited men shake hands while one of them quietly burns. The Mona Lisa trades her secret smile for a game controller. These are paintings as questions — about apathy, power, faith and the strange theatre of being modern.
Scale, awe and the search for something larger
A series that looks up. Ringed planets drifting in cold blue, a red giant swelling over silver mountains, a figure running through cloud toward a single burning star. Painted in the language of awe, these works are about smallness — and the very human refusal to be made small by it.
Still life as a discipline of looking
The work of paying attention. Cherries with the light caught on their skin, two spent lightbulbs, a glass of wine beside a vine. These studies are where the hand is trained and the eye is humbled — proof that there is no such thing as an ordinary thing, only ordinary looking.
The face, the figure, the pen
Where it all began — and where I return. Ballpoint portraits built from thousands of crossed lines, a trumpeter dissolving into colour, the weight of a thought carried in two hands. Drawing is the most honest thing I do: nothing to hide behind, only the line and whether it tells the truth.
