Larry Amponsah's Genesis: The plan and the promise
Larry Amponsah, the Ghanaian mixed media artist means business when he defines his goal as “the affirmation of collage as a serious painting practice”. After all, he did consciously abstain from exhibitions for the last three years, to bring his work to the next level. Pioneering contemporary art gallery the Breeder is the ideal Athenian space to host Amponsah’s comeback in his first solo exhibition in Athens.
By blending paper scraps from archives and Vogue, and painting over them, Amponsah creates fluid, kaleidoscopic portraits. Take “Intellectual Gangster”, for example: a cool guy who serves style, owns the streets and knows his shizzle. Amponsah owns his themes and materials and declares it loudly. That’s the way he tackles complex global issues, like power relations, beauty standards, or the BLM movement. Come witness his colourful, towering artworks on the Breeder’s walls.
