Anthony Amoako-Attah

This young Ghanaian artist is now making waves in the UK by the way he transliterates textile designs into sculpture.

My thoughts on his story: Some similarity with the way Althea McNish broke new ground by introducing a color palette and imagery previously unseen in the UK, from her home country Trinidad. Like Anthony, she was brilliant in terms of technical knowledge and skills with regard to printing, which made it possible for her to produce designs that many would have found too challenging to realize. Experts have commented on how Althea's technical prowess enabled her to break boundaries.
