Kwaku Owusu Achim

Kwaku Osei Owusu Achim (b. 1991) is an emerging artist based in Accra, Ghana. His practice explores various communication forms and finds ways to highlight the less-acknowledged methods of interacting. Using hand sign language as a starting point, he pushes the boundaries of messages encrypted in challenging and intimate moments of the less privileged in our societies. He recognizes and performs its importance for those who rely on it to connect with the world beyond spoken language. This interest extends to how individual decision-making influences collective interests. His works have been shown in Gallery 1957 and Mitochondria Gallery Texas. He has also been featured in the collection of Sir David Adjaye (New York, London, Accra) and Art Maison Marios (Berlin), and private collections in Abidjan, Lagos, and other parts of the world.
