In this work, titled Healthy Living VI, multiple narratives are woven side by side within rectangular spaces to create a sequence of images that depict my stylised figures in communal harmony, living, as it were, in interdependence and in close connection to the earth. My depictions draw from memories of the pastoral life of people in my hometown of Gagahouli, where my family would grow their own crops and farm their own animals in a spirit of reciprocity with the earth. This is a fulfilling life, free from many, though not all, of the chemically processed foods that are prevalent in urban centres. My work hopes to convey this close-knit, communal life of sustenance and sustainability in the countryside i have known since childhood

Being originally an autodidact artist, Ghanaian painter and musician Nyornuwofia Agorsor (b. 1983) supplemented her personally garnered skills with some studies at Kofi Agorsor’s studio. As an instrumentalist, songwriter, composer and performer, she is also the vivacious lead vocalist of the Agorsor Band.
Her works draw from certain esoteric African knowledge systems of education, which, in their fullness, train and tune the mind in order to bring forth one’s own creative genius. Nyornuwofia believes that there is an urgent need for Africa to change her servitude system of education, which, according to her, does little to encourage practicality, lacking the potential to nurture and grow the minds that will exploit and add value to our human and natural resources.
Employing mathematical and geometrical symbols, classroom spaces, and intelligible and unintelligible texts, she captures, sometimes with humour or satire, the position of Africa today, Africa tomorrow, and Africa yesterday. All come in the guise of pure stretches of colour and drawings tinged with an alluring childlike naiveté.
