Joshua Donkor: I have more souls than one

Share

A display of recent works by Joshua Donkor (b. 1997, UK), a Ghanian-British painter who grew up in Bath. Donkor’s work is deeply personal, using portraiture to reflect family history and Diasporic experiences in the Western world, exploring how this is felt through the different generations.

Using a range of different painting and printing techniques, he literally embeds the histories of his sitters into the work, combining their image with layered visual references to the items they picked out together. The resulting works are complex representations of multiple generations, time periods and memories that have informed the past, and continue to influence the future.
