Kobina Nyarko
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kobina Nyarko is one of Ghana's premier contemporary artists. Born March 14, 1972 in Takoradi, Ghana, much of Nyarko's work is characterized by the painting of numerous tiny fish on often large-scale canvases. This "trademark" theme makes his work easy to recognize. The swirling, mesmerizing schools of fish captivate all of Nyarko's viewers and collectors.
Nyarko was formally trained at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. He graduated in 2003 with a BA in Industrial Art. He currently lives in Takoradi with his wife and son.
