British Council is hosting an exhibition featuring the works of the renowned Ghanaian painter, Kwadwo Ani. The exhibition opens at 6pm on Wednesday 19th March and will remain open until Wednesday 26th March 2003.

Kwadwo trained at the Ghanatta College of Art in Dodowa and the Ankle College of Art in Accra.

Since his maiden exhibition in 1998, Kwadwo has come a long way and has made his mark by adopting a na?ve approach to his works; being childlike but not childish, Kwadwo Ani says he draws his inspiration from God and the environment.

He uses street life in the city and life of ordinary people to comment on issues in some of his works. Through shapes, colours, movement and human nature, he captures the illusion of dream art and has a style that stands out from a lot of artists in Ghana.

Kwadwo Ani has exhibited his work in Ghana, United States and C?te d'Ivoire.
