King Owusu

King Owusu.jpg

Celebrating his West African heritage and the matriarchal figures across his Ghanaian-London community, his brush forgoes the page and decorates the streets he grew up on. The latest iteration from the artist, illustrator and model is a vibrant portrait dedicated to his family and friends, through varied motifs of figures and hieroglyphics. A visceral tableau of intimate storytelling, Owusu is championing to close the ridge between the public and the art world that often feels so inaccessible.

I like the colours he uses in his illustrations. They are very bright and make me feel happy. It appears he has a good relationship with his family and you get a strong sense of his culture. They are also large scale which means they would stand out from a far distance.
