Wisdom "Wiz" Kudowor is one of the most well-known and respected contemporary artists in Ghana today. Born in Takoradi, Ghana in 1957 and educated in the arts at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Wiz's career spans about 30 years. Living and working in Accra today, he has exhibited in over 50 group and twelve solo exhibitions in Ghana and throughout Africa, Europe, North America, and Asia. His paintings are held in private and public collections across the world, including Ghana's National Museum, China's Ministry of Culture, Japan's Osaka Prefecture Collection, and a public mural at Ghana's Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park.


Wiz's bold canvases of figures, faces, scenes, and shapes evoke traditional Ghanaian themes while exploring Cubist and Futurist styles. He evades the traditional plane, painting abstract layered pieces with a foam roller and palette knife. "The varied energies in my environment provide an unlimited database for my work," he says. Employing a unique style that he developed when he started traveling the world, Wiz is widely considered to be a "transcultural visionary."
