About this Artist
Robert Nortey was born in 1961 in the Greater Accra region of Ghana. He was educated at the Ghana National School in Cape Coast, where he finished in 1983. Initially, he worked with a large aluminum company. However, over the course of time, he joined his brother, Nii Noi Nortey, as a collector of antiques, as well as an imaginative creator of new carvings.After four years of working together, Nortey left to start a workshop of his own. Presently, he works along with expert artists, all designers and carvers. Nortey currently focuses on the design aspect of the process.
The carvings are principally created in sese, nyame dua, tweneboah, and other quality woods. These are obtained from the eastern and central regions of Ghana. Says Nortey, who has been involved in this trade for the past twenty years, "I love my art and I hope to produce more interesting designs for my customers." He has participated in countless exhibitions, always achieving positive results.
I recently ordered a piece from Robert Nortey titled "Sande Woman", and I couldn't be more pleased with it. Creating such beautifully formed and perfectly symmetrical curves out of solid wood is incredibly challenging, and the execution of this piece clearly demonstrates that Mr. Nortey is a master of his craft. The carving and paint aspects of the piece are excellent and could easily stand on their own, but the the detailed repoussé metalwork adds an extra flair that makes this truly exceptional work.

Mr. Nortey, your art is exquisite! I received the Ewe wood mask "Fear" and it is so beautiful and mystical. I can't stop looking at it! I have it in my bedroom to help protect me from evil spirits as I sleep. I'm so happy that I can purchase from you and other authentic African artist through Novica. I am so proud of my mask! Thank You!!

Robert Nortey: THANK YOU for my carving of "Unity is Strength". This carving is extremely important because African-Americans do not realize the power that we can have in doing great things if we unite. I put your carving on display at the African American Study Workshop and the participants were overjoyed. I just wish that you were here to hear the compliments that you received. You will be hearing from me again very soon. Again THANK YOU for my carving. I love it. It is MAGNIFICENT!!!!
