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.
