Welcome To My Space

About Me
I am Patrick William Dodoo, an artist and educator who lives and works in Ghana. My interdisciplinary practice traverses the studio, the classroom, socially engaged interventions, and scenography for theatre productions. I studied at the Takoradi Polytechnic and the University of Education, Winneba, respectively.
I am passionate about using my art as a vehicle to lend a voice to the needs of the vulnerable in society. In my paintings, I use the medium of acrylic on canvas, and my instantly recognizable black and white palette brings to life, in celebratory fashions, the images of everyday people.
My paintings usually have flat vibrant backgrounds juxtaposed with contrasting black and white portraits of people with different facial expressions and body postures. The figures are usually depicted in stylized, simplified forms, with features that highlight their individuality and humanity forms of it composure. My portraits, figurative forms, and abstract of African dominating old folks with youth and kids, particularly black aged detailed faces.
I am also the founder of Painting In The Open[PITO], an initiative that seeks to demystify the process of artists working by setting up makeshift artist studios in public and inviting members of the public to join in the process of creating artwork. Additionally, I am the CEO of Arttricks Ghana, a corporate entity that seeks to aid in developmental structures through the awareness and the use of art.
