Ebenezer Nana Bruce

Ebenezer Nana Bruce, born in 1988 and based in Accra, Ghana, is a figurative and portrait artist with a focus on capturing the sociocultural and economic dynamics of his surroundings. Graduating from Ghanatta College of Art and Design in 2012, he embarked on a full-time artistic career, utilizing painting as his primary medium of communication.

Nana Bruce's artistic lens is deeply rooted in the vibrant markets, public transports, and diverse crowds of Accra, supplemented by insights from social media, particularly Instagram. Through thick strokes of acrylic paint in a Contemporary Impressionist style, he narrates the stories of contemporary Ghanaian society on canvases and strawboards. Navigating the trends and issues of his country, he presents viewers with a unique perspective on the experiences, struggles, successes, pride, beliefs, and love stories of his subjects.

For Nana Bruce, art becomes a powerful voice to convey these narratives, offering a profound look into the lives and stories of the people he encounters. His work serves as a visual documentation and discussion of the ever-evolving sociocultural landscape of Accra and other parts of Ghana, inviting viewers to connect with the essence of his subjects and their lived experiences.
