Artist Charles Kuks Paintsil, a native of Ghana, is a graduate of The College of Art and Industry, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi, Ghana. He graduated in 1981. After graduation, he taught art appreciation and painting. These activities have taken Charles to Nigeria, the Caribbean and the USA. Charles medium preference are oils on canvas, but he is equally talented in the use of acrylics. As you will notice, he signs his paintings Kuks Paintsil, the name he prefers to use, to reflect his native Africa. His paintings have been sold in the USA, Jamaica, France and England. Ekow Paintsil, his father, was in the automobile business and an art collector. He realized Charles' flare for the arts and took his son on his business trips to Florence, Venice and London, England. While in these countries, they had the opportunity of observing the great works of art by touring the many art galleries and museums in those countries. His style is a blend of Expressive realism, with the western perception of color application and traditional African subjects and the earth tone colors (brown palettes). Most of his works have superimposition of both colors and figures w/an effect of transparency shown in most of his works. Commissioned portraits are welcomed from interested visitors of the web page, since he has lately devoted more studio time to painting portraits. |
