How synesthesia helps artist Prince Gyasi turn his work into 'color therapy'
Published 9th July 2021
Paint, or pixels? That's the question that Prince Gyasi wants you to ask when you see his work.
"You should be confused whether it's a painting or a photograph," he said. "If you're not confused, it means I failed."
Manipulating his photos digitally to enhance or change colors, the 26-year-old Ghanaian visual artist straddles a line between artistic styles that makes him hard to label. Clashing, vibrant colours create fantastical worlds of everyday scenes in Gyasi's work, bringing to life an alternative vision of Accra, his home city.
