Gideon Niikoi Kotey is a Ghanaian artist from McCarthy Hill, Accra, who grew up surrounded by paint, brushes and the rhythm of his father’s studio. Art was never a choice, it was part of life. Deeply connected to his roots, Gideon’s work reflects a dialogue between tradition and modern expression. He often incorporates Adinkra symbols, weaving their cultural meanings into his contemporary visual language. Using a distinctive photo-transfer technique, he brings together images of his family and surroundings with layered textures and paint, creating pieces that feel both intimate and symbolic.
