DENZEL ODURO

By Nii B. Andrews

Within the genre of contemporary African art (CAA), digital art remains one of the most exciting and rapidly developing segments.

Since the inception of digital art in the 1970s, innovative artists have continued to utilize techniques based on modern computer technology to create artworks with an engaging aesthetic and delightful ingenuity.

BEYONCÉ: Denzel Oduro, 27.5 x 27.5 cm, digital 256 dpi, 2016. Signed, dated and numbered (1/10) with seal. Private collection.

The spectrum spans representational to abstract work thus showcasing the immense potential of the digital technology available to the talented contemporary artists and emphasizing a vital evolution in the artistic process.

Denzel Oduro has so far concentrated on female portraiture – largely representational but with an irresistible and definite twist.

The portraits have a nymph like quality or perhaps they appear as Muses…….with Oduro as Zeus – as only he can unequivocally assign them to an art or science.

But Oduro has rendered them in such a manner that the resulting images certainly transcend time and place.

SOFA NIGHT: Denzel Oduro, 30 x 42 cm, digital 256 dpi, 2017, signed, dated and numbered (1/10) with seal. Private collection.

The portraits emphasize only different abstract qualities for our contemplation and appreciation.

They are available as limited digital prints on paper and the highly sought after and coveted limited canvas editions.

All told, the aesthetic quality of Oduro’s work provides an excellent acquisition opportunity for both new or seasoned collectors of CAA.
