Artist Portrait by Yaw Britwum

Elolo Bosoka is an artist-producer exploring poetic connections through cultural infrastructures and everyday life. He is acclaimed for luminous, delicate installations made from rough, common materials, and for elevating his peers at blaxTARLINES KUMASI and beyond. Drawing from markets, meanderings, mass productions, and personal influences, he maintains a democratized approach that blends the ordinary with the intimate.

Bosoka received his BFA and MFA from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi Ghana, in 2015 and 2019 respectively. In 2022, he was awarded the Baden Württemberg Stipendium Scholarship to study at the State Academy of Fine Art, Karlsruhe Germany. Bosoka is a member of blaxTARLINES KUMASI— the project space and contemporary art incubator of the Department of Painting and Sculpture, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science & Technology (KNUST), Ghana.

Notable solo exhibitions include What he saw sees when he went goes strolling (Museum of Science and Technology, Accra Ghana curated by Bernard Aloi-Jackson. 2024), Rectangles and extensions… (Oduom Kumasi Ghana, 2024), 'Objects in Situations; Excerpts from a New Life' at Clemens Thimme Galerie, (Karlsruhe Germany 2022).
