Joshua Oheneba-Takyi demonstrated an affinity for the arts early, using it as a child as a coping mechanism to make up for his dyslexia. Moving away from these difficulties, Oheneba-Takyi pursued a degree in Construction Technology and Management at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (2020), all the while fine-tuning his artistic practice through conscientious self-teaching.
Oheneba-Takyi’s versatile practice, based on drawing and painting, has increasingly drawn attention. In his work, he intimately documents and examines the themes of placement and displacement, often employing the chair as a metaphor for notions of stability and belonging.
