Kofi Agorsor was born in the Volta region of Ghana in 1970. After school, he studied architecture but two years later he realized his true passion was to pursue his love of art and he switched to Accra Ankles College of Art where he obtained his degree in 1993.
Agorsor is a true artist, his works are mostly contemporary, but he is also a musician in a jazz group. He uses bold vibrant colors to reveal the daily lives of people in a modernizing Ghana, often in an upbeat and humorous way. His music is a great source of inspiration as well and his art often reflects the animated dynamics of the group.
Despite huge success with exhibitions on the African continent as well as internationally, Agorsor remains humble. He contributes to his country as a humanitarian missionary and much of his profits made from his art and music is donated to local children’s homes.
