Prince Temeng is Ghanian artist currently a resident Artist with Inkingi Art Space in Kigali Rwanda; who believes that African Art has still not taken its rightful place on the International scene. Since graduating from the College of Arts of the Kwame Nkurumah University of Science and Technology in Ghana in 1990,I have been able to put my artwork and participated in a number of solo and group art exhibition in Ghana, Nigeria, The Gambia, Senegal, Equatorial Guinea, Mauritius as well as Germany, USA and Britain. My work evolves around complex layers of color that depict rhythm and movement in abstract and semi-abstract styles. Sometimes, employs various recycled materials like paper and fabric as well dried plantain tree (fibres)in collage, cement and clays is also used in relief and three-dimensional sculpture. The themes are varied; from everyday scenes to the supernatural. I am also an educator who has taught art and craft from Primary to Secondary School levels and has and organized workshops for children in that regard. The featured art piece"WATER CRISIS" ( Acrylic paint on canvas). It is symbolic of the perennial problem of water accessibility in many African countries. It is women who often have to walk long distances to fetch water for domestic purposes. In this particular work,these women have not been successful in their pursuit for water and pause to reflect on the water shortage and also talk about other issues. African women are indispensable!
