Multi-talented Ghanaian-born UK artist, Eugene Ankomah, is an innovative young artist endowed with the ability to communicate through his works in a variety of mediums and styles. Each stroke of his brush is riddled with philosophies, wisdom, sentiments, views, beautiful and broken memories intricately translated into elements which are impeccably harmonized into impressive works of art open to diverse interpretations.

Eugene traces his interest in art back to the tender age of 3 – as a child he was obsessed with drawing boxes before progressing to drawing members of his family. In school, his talent was never lost to his fellow classmates or teachers; it won him their admiration. Through the years, Eugene has diligently applied himself to honing and perfecting his skills. He attended the Central St. Martin College of Art & Design, and then proceeded to earn his bachelor’s degree in Illustration and Fine Art at the University of Westminster.

Eugene’s unquestionable talent is evident at a glance of his works. His painting, “Elijah Ascending to Heaven,” highlights his infinite potential and versatility as an artist. While some of his works have viewers awestruck, others such as “The Fighter” and “Drunkenness” with its painstaking emphasis on distortion echoes deeply rooted emotions within the viewer. Eugene’s recent socially inspired and politically flavored work appropriately titled, “The Cover Up Series” showcases his artistic range.  He plans on unveiling his new works at his upcoming UK Solo show called “Cover Ups-The Definitive Collection.”

As an artist, his uniqueness primarily lies not only in his passion, and realistic approach towards the various subject matters that inspire him, but also his methodical and mature presentations of the themes. With his works already been compared to great artists like Pablo Picasso, Eugene is definitely on the right path to leaving his imprint on the art world. However, his relevance as an artist stems from his ability to wow audiences around the world with his bold creations.

Eugene’s talent hasn’t gone unnoticed amongst the connoisseurs of the arts; he has won numerous awards; these include being the first recipient of the Peter Evans Award, among others. He counts high profile celebs like Uri Geller, Michael Horovitz, Dame Kelly Holmes, and Dizzie Rascal as some of his numerous fans worldwide.
