Akainyah Gallery

Loved this gallery! The artist art represents events in time. The stories behind each piece are amazing.

Wow.
That was the first word I uttered the first time I had seen a Samuel Akainyah painting.
Amazing.
It is more than worth a visit to Samuel’s gallery to see emotion on canvas (or board as he paints on board often).
The man is an absolute genius. Plain and simple.
He is able to take a knife (I think he paints with a knife more than a brush) and paint and just create something that captivates you.
What is particularly special is the opportunity to listen to Samuel as he explains why he painted what he did, and his thought behind each work.
He is a professor at one of the City colleges as well, and with a father who was a ‘founding father’ in Ghana’s government, he has the most interesting stories to share about life, history, and people.
A warm and fascinating heavily impressionist artist, Samuel Akainyah is my favorite artist bar none.
Knowing him is a pleasure and each time I encounter his work, it touches my heart, soul, and mind.
You need to see this place. Call ahead to make sure they are open or to make an appointment. See his work once, and you will need to have one of his pieces for your very own.
It is completely ‘wow’.
