Patrick Tagoe-Turkson is a multi-disciplinary artist, teacher, and activist who grew up in the Effutu State of Winneba in Ghana. He became fascinated with his historical traditional flag art concepts at an early age. This led to his earlier research and art projects in contemporary Asafo flag art, which eventually progressed into working with found upcycled flip-flops collected from beaches in his neighbourhood. A lover of nature, Patrick has been actively involved in creating with natural materials since the year 1999, when he began working with communities, children, nature art groups/organisations, and artists locally and internationally to create art from and with nature. Some of his remarkable recent projects include: Generations Woven, 2023, in Ghana; Is Everything OK, 2022, in the United Kingdom; I Have Seen Things, 2021, in Mexico; Akikakika, 2021, in Ghana; From The Jail Walls: In the Mind of a Prisoner, 2019, in India; and Repurposed, 2019, in the USA. Other projects include: Emotional Massage, 2019 in Germany, Cloth for a Dying Tree, 2018 in Japan, and Kumasi Curios Slipper Kiosk Intervention, 2009 in Ghana. Patrick has also exhibited in Nigeria, Senegal, Morocco, South Africa, Australia, Italy, Poland, France, Belgium, Spain, Denmark, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Korea, Turkey, and Switzerland. His work is in private collections and museums across the globe. Patrick holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from the College of Art (KNUST), Ghana.Painting
