“Who’s to say that the Cezanne of the 21st Century might not be a Ghanaian artist? Transformative works of art can come from anywhere and what we’ve seen in the last ten years in Ghana is a Renaissance. It’s not only brought about a wave of creative production but an understanding for the artists to see themselves as having the ability to be part of a global conversation.” Osei Bonsu, Curator International Art, Tate Modern
