Artwork Title: "Leaving anxiety in the back" Rarity: Unique Size: 100 x 100 cm Materials: Acrylic on canvas, un-stretched, shipped rolled Medium: Painting Artist Name: KPE Nationality: Ghanaian b. 1994 Bio KPE Innocent (b. 1994) is a self-taught Ghanaian artist whose work merges traditional visual language with new media influences, creating bold and reflective portraits of contemporary human experience. Using acrylic on canvas, KPE paints bulbous, exaggerated figures with long limbs and small heads, often set against backgrounds of negative space. These stylised characters speak to a sense of shared vulnerability and quiet strength, exploring themes of love, grace, and isolation. Often placed in solitary environments, his figures become metaphors for individuality within a collective human condition. Pop culture references and elements of modernist design appear subtly throughout his compositions, bridging local realities with global influence. KPE’s work invites stillness, reflection, and empathy and has resonated widely in previous 4BYSIX auctions.
