The Coordinator for Black Stars Experience, Rex Omar, has emphasised the need to promote Ghanaian painters and visual artists.
He said this in an interview on Daybreak Hitz with Doreen Avio while he shared his insights on Ghanaian art and culture.
“Ghanaian painters have been relegated to the background, we need to bring them to the limelight -our painters and our sculptors, visual arts and when we say aesthetics, we looking at how you see Ghana either through photography or painting or sculptor or whatever it is,” he noted.
Rex suggested elevating and amplifying these artists, helping them export their work, and organizing exhibitions to showcase Ghanaian art.
He further discussed the importance of incorporating Ghanaian style and culture into design.
“Style is about design…The design aspect, the design approach through industrial design, through our Architecture,” he said.
He pointed out that many Ghanaian buildings are modeled after European standards, and instead, we should design buildings that reflect our climate, culture, and unique identity.
“How have we been able to design this our village style of mud houses? We can modernise it…if we talk about the style that’s what we’re talking about,” he added.
Rex Omar’s vision for Ghanaian art and culture highlights the need to promote and celebrate our unique identity by showcasing our artistic talents and incorporating our cultural heritage into modern design.
