US-based Guyanese artist Kwesi Bovell is painting a name for himself. He is yet to figure out the category under which his work falls as he works in several mediums.
“I do a fusion of abstract-based graffiti with a three-dimensional twist to it, so when listing in the generic listings I tick street art and graffiti,” Kwesi told The Scene. “I use acrylics since making the switch back in art school from oils. I was introduced to the golden line of acrylics by Ron Savory back in 1997 and have not switched since. The options for materials are endless in America therefore subject matter becomes more of an issue than material.”
It was in 1997 that Kwesi left the E R Burrowes School of Art, not just as an honour student but valedictorian.
