Ghana art popularity stokes calls for national gallery
With the actual Ghana’s National Art Museum falling apart, Ghanaian artists as Ablade Glover and most famous Ghanaian art collector Seth Dei are looking to urge the government to build a new modern National museum in Ghana.
Visit Accra, Ghana with My African Passport
We spent 48 hours touring Accra, the capital city of Ghana. We went to Labadi Beach, Oxford Street, Kemplinski Hotel, Gallery 1957, Bedford's Gallery and Gold Coast restaurant and bar.
Gallery owner reflects on contemporary African art
The Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa will officially open in Cape Town later this month. It is a vast space and will be the first major museum on the continent dedicated to modern African art. But neither contemporary art nor art galleries celebrating such art is new to Africa. We spoke with one 89 year old, Ghanaian gallery owner who has been running a gallery in central Accra for almost half a century.

With magical talent for drawings and paintings, he says he developed the passion for art at a very tender age. Ghana's Contemporary Artist, as he calls himself, has decided to turn this passion into a full-time occupation. We present to you his story.

Conversations on the Creative Arts in Ghana
Brief synopsis on my upcoming book Conversations on the Creative Arts in Ghana
Blade Art - Ed-Franklin Gavua (Accra/Ghana)
In 2014 Ed-Franklin Gavua donated 70 pieces of his Blade Art to support social projects in Accra/Ghana - info/support: ankwa-roots.org
Gavua says about his Blade Art:I discover this interesting expression of putting „words into action“ in the form of drawing with a piece of wood with black ink on paper in its raw state. Then uses the blade to highlight or define the feelings and the efforts of how the story should be told.
The Blade Art is giving a vivid imagination of how we feel for eachother, by holding, sharing and caring, interacting in different ways. This medium of inner expression talks about what we see, the disappointment, hopes, promises and dreams and all that makes life well to be examine.(...) Its also good for an artist to develop and grow into the deeper realm of creativity, if only one can use his in-born aggression, then the trained mindful eye can see split-second images hidden from the normal sight. I believe art is a lie that makes you realize the truth.
