4me4you visits JD Malat Gallery, which featured the artist KOJO MARFO: "CRUCIBLE OF HOPE".
MY PROCESS
Marfo is an acclaimed contemporary artist celebrated for his unique style, which draws inspiration from traditional Akan artefacts, sculptures, and carvings that he encountered growing up.
Through his thought-provoking artworks, Marfo skilfully explores the intricate nature of shared and personal human stories, with each piece carrying the weight of experiences we have lived and continue to live today.
KOJO MARFO: CRUCIBLE OF HOPE
Kojo Marfo shares his thoughts on the exhibition, stating, “The idea is to expose and highlight the burden that our families and society place on us to be successful, rather than prioritising our happiness. It has become almost like a birthright to be successful at any expense. The intention is to shed light on these sentiments and hopefully inspire some individuals to bring about change and find happiness in our world.”
