Kumi Samuel, born in Ghana, holds a BSC in Fine Arts. He is a versatile artist, his creation ranges from abstracts, concepts and the human figure. The Hallmark of his work is the realistic rendition of his subjects through which he seeks to revive and reconcile indigenous and ethnic art with global artistic conceptions. His work appropriates from the socio-cultural space through the activation of visual forms to traditional ideologies, mythologies proverbs and cultural activities that are lost or seem to be diminishing from society. In making a great projection of the future he feels the past becomes an arsenal of asserts and an inevitable archival reference necessitated by the present as well as the future. He strongly believes that though, “static and unproportional” his art has more to offer historically, theoretically and conceptually in terms of style, technique and process. These aspects coupled with western classical realism gives rise to another conversation on Afro-hyperealism
