The Artist

“Abstract art has a captivating way of tricking and stimulating the mind, revealing something new with every glance, and that is truly fascinating to me.”

Raised in Accra, Ghana, surrounded by sculpture, dance and visual art, Jeffrey built a career in luxury hospitality before returning to his roots. Since 2018 he has held yearly solo exhibitions at Park Hyatt New York’s Avenue Gallery, where his piece SKYWAVE hangs as a permanent installation.

“Abofra bo nnwa, ommo akyekyedee.”
