Richmond Agamelah

A playful yet deeply human exploration of character.

Born in 1989, Richmond Agamelah is a Ghanaian artist based in Accra who studied at the prestigious Ghanatta College of Art and Design. His work is driven by character-led compositions in which figures take on a distinctly performative presence.

Working with discarded plastics—ranging from phone cards to broken rulers—Agamelah reimagines straight-edged materials as expressive tools. By carving into acrylic paint with rhythmic spontaneity, he connects the physicality of his process to emotional states such as love and empathy. This fusion of material experimentation and emotional storytelling defines the playful yet deeply human quality of his work.
