Tell me something
80x80 cm
Acrylic on Canvas

This piece explores the intimacy of absence, the way a presence lingers in fabric, in memory, in the quiet spaces left behind. I capture a moment that is both tender and distant, a reflection of connection slipping into the past. by @recheloppong

‘She carries the grid’
P.O.P, plastic mesh, cloth and acrylic on canvas
75x75 cm

For the past few months, I’ve been experimenting with plaster of Paris, cloth, color application, and plastic mesh, materials that challenge and stretch the language I’ve built over time. This exploration is not a departure from my artistic roots, but an expansion. My work has always been grounded in texture, depth, and storytelling, and these new elements allow me to articulate emotion in ways that feel both unfamiliar and essential.

The plastic mesh particularly becomes skin, a synthetic veil through which womanhood is seen, shaped, and strained. It holds form while letting everything pass through, symbolizing a body made visible yet always perforated by expectation, labor, and silence. It mirrors the tension women often live within: exposed yet confined, resilient yet reduced. This is about curiosity, discomfort, and the radical potential of reinvention through form. by @recheloppong

Fragmented Realities

80x80cm
Acrylic on Canvas

By deconstructing and reassembling the subject’s features with bold patterns and layered hues, the piece reflects the complexity of personal and collective histories. The juxtaposition of traditional African textiles with abstract, fluid forms highlights the tension between heritage and contemporary existence. by @recheloppong

This mural project marked the beginning of a transformative journey this year. It’s been one of the most fulfilling projects I’ve had the privilege of working on, not just for the art itself but for what it symbolized. In African culture, murals often serve as symbolic claddings, reflecting stories, values, and identities, and being part of that tradition feels deeply meaningful. I’m profoundly grateful to @kizitoamartey, the one who brought this vision to life, the true creative force behind it and making me a part of this beautiful project and to @nkyinkyim_museum as well for making this vision possible. This has changed my year in ways I can’t fully express. Here’s to chasing even bigger dreams and creating more meaningful work in the year ahead 🥂 by @recheloppong

Class of 72’

Acrylic on Canvas.

Class of 72’ is a reflective journey into memory, nostalgia, and the passage of time. Through this painting, I aim to capture the essence of classmates,individuals who once shared the intimate experience of growing up together, but whose lives have since taken different paths. The work serves as a tribute to the bonds that form during our formative years, and to the way those connections evolve, linger, and sometimes fade with time.
