Ed Cross is delighted to announce representation of British-born Ghanaian artist Joseph Awuah-Darko. He will present a solo show of new and recent work at Ed Cross gallery in September 2024, following his current residency at Center Point Arts (Texas) and a forthcoming residency at the Josef & Anni Albers Foundation (Connecticut).
An interdisciplinary artist, Awuah-Darko uses diverse mediums to process historic and autobiographical narratives. From the artist's expansive Kente textile works, melding his Asante heritage with Afrofuturism, to his series of oil stick paintings, charting his moods over a day’s span, Awuah-Darko’s practice is always grappling with the tensions between interior experience and external expression.
Besides his work as a visual artist, Awuah-Darko is a practicing curator, and the founder and director of Noldor Artist Residency in Accra, Ghana.
Director Ed Cross writes: "I am thrilled to be working with the brilliant and dynamic Joseph Awuah-Darko, a true polymath who, having accomplished so much for such a young man and touched the lives of numerous artists, opens a new chapter in his life where his own bourgeoning art practice now takes centre stage. I am excited and honoured to play a part in what I believe will be an increasingly significant and extraordinary journey."
