Born in Accra, Ghana
Lives and works in Accra.
Figurative surrealism is Taku’s visual language and is incorporated with his love of textiles. Before his short career as an art teacher in figurative drawing, Taku studied and trained formally in Visual Arts and Textiles at the Ghanatta College of Art and Design for 4 years [2005 – 2009] alongside his fellow figurative artist Kwesi Botchway.
His work reflects his love of textiles with a silk-screening approach and his commitment to capturing black bodies in the abstract – one as a reflection of the other.
