Collection: Patrick Tagoe Turkson

Patrick Turkson’s work is as vibrant in color as it is powerful in meaning; His process of working with found flip-flops and discarded plastics, examines the notions of identity, memory, and waste.

Turkson’s process and work show the role an artist and art itself can play within a community- His pieces are not art, for art’s sake, but art that aims to reclaim, transform, and repair.

He received his MFA degree in Painting at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi, Ghana and is currently Senior Lecturer at Takoradi Technical University in Ghana.
