About Artist: Sallah Barnabe
To know the beauties of the scenes of everyday life is one thing, but to transpose this wealth onto canvas is another. Sallah Barnabé transports us into the extraordinary universe of Africa’s daily life. A daily newspaper made of dance walks, feasts and colours.

Nii Teiko is exerting considerable influence on the contemporary art scene on the African continent, having received applause for his unique and identifiable painting style”lineism”.

His love for art commenced at the tender age of six when he mostly engaged himself with drawing, painting, clay moulding, sewing etc. This unquenchable interest in art motivated him to offer Visual Art as a course in High School. (St. John’s Grammar High School) in Achimota, Accra. During his days at St. John’s, he participated in several intercollege art competitions which earned him various awards. He also mounted an exhibition during the school’s 50th-anniversary celebration.
Before obtaining a Diploma in Art and rising to recognition, Nii Teiko established a studio in his bedroom in the year 1997 which was nicknamed “the bedroom studio”. From here, he launched his commercial painting career. His paintings are extremely compelling and interactive to their viewers.

Kofi Nduro was born on January 14th 1964 in Tarkwa, Ghana. He was a student at Ghanatta College of Art and Design. Nduro defines himself as a traditionalist deep in the mythology of African art. Womanhood, landscapes and symbols are embedded in the themes he explores. He developed his style after 16 years of an internal identity search within the art world. This soul search can be witnessed within his pieces through a combination of brush, knife and fingers on virgin canvas as he works with a medium.
Kofi’s work is widely collected in Europe, the United States and Ghana. Allow yourself to be enveloped in the romantic world of Kofi Nduro. Currently the CEO of Kofinduro studio at Cantonments, Accra.
