    'Symbols of Courage'

    For artist Evans Nii Adjetey Adjei, adinkra symbols are a source of courage and identity. Ghanaian art is rich in imagery, often utilizing these abstract motifs that bear ancestral messages. From left to right, he depicts the nyame dua, or "tree of God" representing God's protection and presence. Nsaa is a type of hand-woven cloth symbolizing excellence, genuineness and authenticity.

    'Symbols of Courage'

    For artist Evans Nii Adjetey Adjei, adinkra symbols are a source of courage and identity. Ghanaian art is rich in imagery, often utilizing these abstract motifs that bear ancestral messages. From left to right, he depicts the nyame dua, or "tree of God" representing God's protection and presence. Nsaa is a type of hand-woven cloth symbolizing excellence, genuineness and authenticity. Sunsum (spirit) stands for spirituality while mate masie (what I hear, I keep) represents wisdom and knowledge. Dwennimmen depicts ram's horns, a symbol of both humility and strength. Gye nyame (except God) recalls God's supremacy and owo foro adobe (snake climbing the raffia tree) symbolizes steadfastness, prudence and diligence. The crocodile denkyem stands for adaptability, and dame-dame, a board game, represents intelligence and ingenuity.

    Evans Nii Adjetey Adjei

    Evans Nii Adjetey Adjei is an energetic young artist with aspirations of broad success. Born in 1976, he attended art school, studying abstract and semi-abstract painting, texture, and graphic design. After graduating he went on to teach children how to combine art and textiles, especially the kente designs sponsored by UNESCO in affiliation with the Associated School Project Network.

    Evans tells us, "My improvisations of colorful kente cloth designs are derived and inspired by my cultural background as well as the natural objects I find in life. Using rollers, palette knives and brushes, I portray the movement of female body language in acrylic paints, innocent to the curvilinear, robustness of my countrywomen." Evans work has been exhibited throughout Ghana, as well as in Canada and the USA.
