Born in 1957 in Accra, Ghana. Kofi Setordji first tried graphic design before anchoring his practice in sculpture. In 1984, he began his career as a visual artist in the studio of the famous sculptor and designer Saka Acquaye, and soon discovered the works of Richard Hunt and his handling of metal. This influence pushes him to develop a personal technique which he also transposes to wood, bronze, stone or terracotta. The main concern of the artist will now be to shape the medium to establish a fruitful dialogue between the work and whoever looks at it. He participated in national and international exhibitions, notably in the United States and Europe. In his hometown, his works can be seen at the Artists Alliance Gallery, the National Museum of Ghana and the Goethe Institute among others. On the outskirts of his practice, Kofi Setordji founded ArtHaus, artistic research residency, and co-founded the Nubuke foundation.
