Jonathan Okoronkwo

Jonathan Okoronkwo is currently pursuing his MFA in painting and sculpture at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST). As an emerging artist, Okoronkwo is curious about extending his practice beyond conventional art practices such as drawing and painting. He extends the reach of his work to photography, woodwork, welding, assemblage and construction. His interest in the evidence of time and usage on machines informs his choice of medium and material. The artist reuses and transforms materials and substances already charged with history through usage over time by the machines he sources from. Okoronkwo’s unique large scale paintings seek to ultimately express his fascination with human mortality and its expression through the invention of machines.
