PG PICASSO (Ato-Obong Akpama)

PG graduated college with a degree in biology, and it wasn’t until the pandemic confined them indoors that they realized their passion for art. Restricted to their home, PG converted the living room into a studio and began a self-taught practice, painting eccentric figures on wood panels. Early 2000s cartoons such as Fish Hooks and clothing outlets such as Payless ShoeSource inspire their characters’ exaggerated features and clothing. Fluorescent hues combine and clash to create vivid palettes, mimicking old-school comic books for a new generation.
