Color Fields and Jazz Rhythms: Atta Kwami’s Ghanaian Geometry Lights Up London

Atta Kwami’s art doesn’t just hang on walls—it pulses with the energy of Ghana’s streets and the improvisational spirit of jazz. His signature style, dubbed “Kusami Realism,” weaves together bold, geometric shapes inspired by the vibrant strip-woven textiles of the Ewe and Asante people. These lively blocks of color echo the patterns found in Ghanaian architecture, creating a visual rhythm that feels both structured and spontaneous. Kwami’s work bridges continents, reflecting his life between Ghana and the UK, and his influence stretches from public murals to major museum exhibitions. Now, with Goodman Gallery representing his estate and a new solo show in London, his legacy continues to unfold—proof that art rooted in tradition can keep reinventing itself, one vivid square at a time. #AttaKwami #GhanaianArt #ContemporaryAfricanArt
