SUMMARY:Limited-time Art Exhibit Featuring Works of Ghanaian Artists “Gospel” and Quarshie Tornu
DESCRIPTION:Loews Atlanta Hotel and Atlanta-based artist Lisa KaiRobinson will co-host a pop-up art exhibit featuring the works of Ghanaian artists Kwesi Atta Kakra Asiedu who goes by “Gospel” and Quarshie Tornu on Saturday\, September 16 from 4 – 8 p.m. and Sunday\, September 17 from 1 – 4 p.m. While the art exhibit is free to attend\, advanced RSVPs are required as the space is limited.  \n\n\n\nRobinson\, an active figure in the Atlanta community and prominent realtor who recently began to explore her personal artistry through paint\, joined a friend on an ancestorial trip to Ghana in June 2023. During their exploration of the capital city of Accra and other smalltowns along the coast\, Robinson came across a visual artist who goes by “Gospel.” She learned that painting is not only his passion\, but also his primary method of communication. “My inspiration in painting is to bring out the bold and beautiful colors of my hometown\, Elmina\, and to show another side beyond the darkshadow of slavery\,” explains Gospel. “We were a vibrant people before the Portuguese arrived and we have remained so\, despite losing so many of our brothers and sisters to the Transatlantic Slave Trade.” \n\n\n\nGospel depicts the Ghanaian people in an array of captivating colors\, patchwork and textures such as a woman cradling a child\, where both are intertwined with flowers and patterns found throughout theirnatural landscape; townspeople adorned in their cultural attire\, while seamlessly moving throughout their day; and a sea of tribesmen on horses ready for battle. “When I saw his work and learned of his story\, I was compelled to do something that brought his artistry to a wider audience and gain the recognition he deserves. His art needs to be shared\,” said Robinson.“Loews Atlanta Hotel is ideally located in the heart of Midtown – the art and culture hub of the city – making it an easy and reliable location to host this meaningful exhibit.” \n\n\n\nGospel is a twin and the fourth child of eight from Elmina\, Ghana – the same location as Elmina Castle. The notorious location was first established as a trade settlement\, though later became one of the most pivotal stops on the route of the Atlantic slave trade. His parents were hard-working fishers\, though were unable to financially support his education past the sixth grade. He was drawn to paint\, and began to apprentice with a Nigerian man Gospel refers to as Mr. Ape. After three years\, Gospel began painting on his own and has been doing so for the past seven years. Now\, his goal is to support others in his community through art education.Quarshie Tornu is also a Ghanaian artist\, sculptor and educator whose work has appeared internationally and currently at the National Museum of Ghana. Born in Accra\, Ghana in 1974\, he was educated at the Martech College of Arts\, Ghanatta College of Art and Design\, Oluwade Creative Art\, Limpopo College of Arts and Shinlo Tiegio College of Art. He mentors young artists and works with creative communities to help them develop new ideas. Quarshie describes his style of working as seminal-abstract he creates images from his own imagination. Quarshie says\, “My inspiration as a painter comes from nature and environments\, and the beauty of our rich Ghanaian and African culture. I believe art expresses everyday happiness\, and so every painting of mine has a unique and rich story to tell. Lifeto me is meaningless without art or artist.” \n\n\n\nA portion of the proceeds from this weekend’s art sales will support the Queen of Apostles Boarding School\, a public Catholic primary boarding school for girls\, in Elmina\, Ghana.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:ART EXHIBITION\, by the French Artist Guylaine Conquet "From embarrassment to pride"
DESCRIPTION:Get ready to immerse yourself in a mind-blowing ART EXHIBITION\, by the French Artist Guylaine Conquet “From embarrassment to pride”.  \n\n\n\nArtist Guylaine Conquet’s upcoming exhibition delves into the intricate history of black hair\, intimately intertwined with her personal journey of transitioning to natural hair. At the heart of her artistic narrative lies a message of self-esteem cultivated through knowledge and understanding. The exhibition\, poised to make a resounding impact\, not only celebrates the beauty and significance of natural hair but also resonates with the pressing need for change. \n\n\n\nThis artistic showcase serves as a robust platform to spotlight her bill against hair discrimination currently under scrutiny at the French Parliament. With the potential to enact transformative legislative measures\, the exhibition aligns harmoniously with the cause\, lending its influence to the ongoing fight against discrimination rooted in hair texture and style. \n\n\n\nIn a world where art wields the profound ability to stir societal transformations\, Guylaine Conquet emerges as an embodiment of inspirational artistic activism. As the exhibition’s curtain rises\, Conquet’s work not only exemplifies her personal journey but also becomes a conduit for larger conversations surrounding identity\, acceptance\, and the imperative pursuit of equitable norms. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister
