FRANCIS AMOAH (profile of the artist)
I always try to reveal the beauty of nature through women and related shapes in my painting because they are as beautiful as nature.
I was born in Accra, Ghana where I received my basic education. After senior secondary school, I continued at Ankle college of Art where I opted for Painting as my vocation and career subject.
My styles vary because of my approach to a particular theme, but my areas of interest are basically centered on women, lifestyle people and places, townscapes, market and boat/beach scenes etc. The image and composition of my work talks about the indigenous, traditional and contemporary Ghanaian way of life. My compositions often put you in a silent and reflective mood as well as creating a sense of curiosity about the entire picture in the observer's mind.
I realise that colour is, for me a strong emotional tool of expression. As such I love to use warm, bright and rich colours. I use them to portray life in its common aspect. Whatever I paint is a social commentary of the things that I see and experience in my day to day interactions with nature, the local people and the sounds that I hear in both tranquil and hectic locations within my native country, Ghana, West Africa.
My Paintings have found their way to expensive and less expensive private homes and business in Europe, America and Africa. There seems to be no limit to where my art can be enjoyed and displayed with satisfaction, pride and happiness. It is a good feeling for me, the simple artist, to know that I am bringing this level of warmth and good feeling throughout the World simply by using the talents and skills that God has given to me.
I believe that Art has come a long way in Africa. And know that Art to me means creation. It is my life-blood and I display my thoughts and aspirations in this way.
I have held a number of group and solo exhibitions, all in Ghana to date. In 2007 UNICEF selected some of my paintings to be part of their greeting cards collection, but now my work will be displayed in London and a whole new audience will have the opportunity to see what I can do ! I open my heart and mind to you, through my brush strokes and the use of colour in the most vibrant form with depth and feeling.
