Patrick Tagoe-Turkson

Ghanaian 1978- 

Patrick Tagoe-Turkson, a Ghanaian artist with a Master of Fine Arts from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi, Ghana, combines vibrant elements of Ghanaian culture with innovative environmental artistry. Transforming plastic waste and discarded rubber into kaleidoscopic compositions, he reimagines flip-flops found in the Atlantic Ocean as “Objects of Value.” His work, rooted in storytelling and social commentary, explores themes of memory, migration, and recovery while reflecting the rhythmic patterns of traditional Ghanaian art, like Kente fabrics. Tagoe-Turkson’s practice bridges the mundane and the beautiful, elevating discarded materials into mesmerizing, meaningful art.
