“I represent the everyday life and people with beautiful things. I think about the future and how there is beauty and strength to take us through life.”
Ben Agbee (b.1966) lives and works in Accra, Ghana. After graduating from college in 1989, majoring in Art, Agbee entered the field of Advertising. His passion for communication through a creative medium propelled him within the industry, and at the same time, Agbee began to develop a signature painting style. Earthly textures mix with intense hues of color, whilst symbols form faint structures of abstract figures. Agbee has participated in numerous international solo and group shows including Arte Fiera (Bologna, 1998) and the National Museum of Ghana (Accra, 2010).
