Face Value, Adjei Tawiah
View works

Adjei Tawiah is a rising figure on the contemporary African art scene. He stands out for his bold yet profoundly poetic artistic approach. The Face Value exhibition offers a reflection on appearances and the hidden truths behind the faces we present to the world. Through powerful and expressive works, Tawiah explores human emotions, vulnerability, and the quest for identity.

The originality of Adjei Tawiah's work lies notably in his distinctive use of the sponge as his primary painting tool. Far from being a mere instrument, the sponge becomes a true medium of artistic expression. It allows the artist to create velvety and dynamic textures, giving his characters an almost tangible tactile depth. This creative gesture, imbued with lightness, contrasts with the intensity of emotions conveyed by his works.

The faces portrayed by Tawiah are never static: they tell stories filled with silences, doubts, and resilience. Through Face Value, the artist invites each visitor to look beyond what is visible, delving into narratives where fragility and strength coexist harmoniously.
