Gedeprensunpre Agorsor

Gedeprensunpre Agorsor (b. 2002) is a Ghanaian artist shaped by the creative influence of his parents, renowned artists Kofi Agorsor, and Nyornuwofia Agorsor. He is currently studying Painting and Sculpture at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, (KNUST), Kumasi, Ghana 
Agorsor’s multidisciplinary practice spans painting, sculpture, writing, and performance, using materials such as acrylic, oil, plaster, wood, and fabric. Rejecting rigid stylistic labels, his work explores diverse themes—ranging from human experiences to animals, nature, and the abstract—through spontaneous and experimental approaches.
Recent exhibitions include Abobo (April 2024) and Chameleonic Spaces (August 2024), both self-curated at KNUST, and In the Chest of the City at perfocraZe International Artist Residency, curated by Va-Bene Elikem Fiatsi (August 2024). He has also contributed to collaborative projects like Scarphases by Louis Deininger and Tudevie (Calling) by Kofi Agorsor at Gallery 1957.
A dynamic storyteller, Agorsor blends poetry, play, and intuition to create work that defies linear categorization, embracing the complexities of life.

ARTIST STATEMENT
When asked what I do as an artist or writer, I struggle to answer—not just because translating perception into words is difficult, but because my creations feel driven by instinct rather than conscious control. Creating feels like following an elusive force, much like the Buddhist parable of blind scholars or Richard’s fragmented search for meaning in Chimamanda Adichie’s Half of a Yellow Sun. This uncertainty fuels my experimental, intuitive approach.
My work spans media such as acrylic, oil, wood, plaster, and unconventional materials, drawing inspiration from literature, theatre, biology, and architecture. I explore cultural intersections, incorporating Chinese and Ghanaian symbols to examine the complex relationships between these cultures across geopolitics, economics, and history. My techniques include screen printing, sewing, stamping, and using materials like Gentian violet and indigo dye, referencing their imperialist histories.
In this exhibition, I present The Face, created during my Artsplit residency. Inspired by birth and life, it explores contrasts and abstractions through the materiality of biological forms.
