Adokwei Boye Ghanaian, b. 1997
Overview
Edwin Adokwei Boye is a Ghanaian Photographer and Visual Artist specializing in Afro-Surrealist Collages and sustainable practices using textile waste. As a self-taught artist, Boye cultivated his passion for art through empirical exploration and on-site research. His work process includes surrealistic experimentation to transform real-life photography into digital artworks, telling fabulated fantasies, and advocating for improved conditions for black people. He uses rich symbolic elements to provoke thoughts, emotions, and memories, and invites viewers to reflect on their position and relation within the reality surrounding us. In recent years, Boye has expanded his artistic practice in including sustainable art production by collecting waste fabrics from Ghana’s beaches. He repurposes these materials by incorporating them into his artworks, transforming environmental protection into an integral part of his creative process.
