KELVIN ANSONG Ghana

Kelvin developed his own signature approach, dubbed Kescorism, which is inspired by the ever-shifting reflections of a kaleidoscope. This style employs bold geometric forms—circular motifs, angular shapes, and rich color palettes—to express complex emotional and societal narratives.
Kelvin Ansong (b. 1993, Accra, Ghana) is a rising Ghanaian visual artist whose vibrant works reflects a profound dialogue between memory, identity, and collective aspiration. A graduate of the Ghanatta College of Arts, he is based in Sowutuom—a suburb of Accra—where he draws on personal and cultural histories to inform his dynamic practice.
 
Through his work, he addresses themes such as resilience, choice, and cultural heritage. He frequently references Sankofa, a Ghanaian concept meaning “go back and take,” to weave together moments from the 1950s with contemporary commentary. His paintings range from abstract landscapes to figurative portraiture, often centered on communal experiences and the human spirit.
