b. 1970
Kofi Agorsor (b. 1970, Kumasi, Ghana) is a versatile artist who uses his touch to bring out the spirits of his substrates. His practice spans painting, sculpture, installation, music, and performance. His studio is a collaborative and familial operation. Growing up in Akatsi Fiato in the Volta Region of Ghana, Agorsor was exposed to multi-faceted environments. His art forms are influenced by the Shrine as much as by the Gallery: two different outlets, one expressive vision. Agorsor’s mediums wed the ancient with the modern and contemporary: a co-species endeavour that defies a ‘single story’.
