Larry Amponsah is an artist and thinker whose practice interrogates the ideological underpinnings of image-making, challenging the orthodoxy of traditional techniques while critically examining the mechanics of visual culture. His work explores how historical imagery, cultural artifacts, and collective narratives are repurposed, deconstructed, and reassembled to question systems of power and representation.

Rooted in painting yet transcending its conventional boundaries, Amponsah’s process is one of intervention—transforming, printing, and cutting into archival images before layering them into intricate collages. These compositions, refined through mechanical processes and painterly precision, become sites of tension and dialogue—where history converses with the present, and fragmented realities give rise to new possibilities. His work is not merely an aesthetic pursuit but a philosophical excavation, revealing the politics of perception and the mutable nature of truth in a world saturated with images.

As an Associate Lecturer at Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London, Amponsah brings his critical and experimental approach into academic discourse. He holds an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art (2018), following studies at Jiangsu University, China (2016), and a BFA from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Ghana (2015). From 2018 to 2020, he served as a Trustee of The Kuenyehia Art Trust in Ghana. His accolades include a shortlist for the 2019 Dentons Art Prize and the Be Smart About Art Award (2019). His work is held in prestigious collections, including The Wellcome Collection in London, marking his contribution to the evolving landscape of contemporary art.
