  • Casterline|Goodman Gallery is thrilled to present artist Seth Fiifi Afful’s latest exhibition in Aspen, with new works, never before on view in the United States. This show explores nature, humanity and the larger world through the use of vibrant colors and patterns.
     
    The patterns in each work are intended to represent “unity among humanity”. The green eyes of his human art figures symbolize the richness of the world when humanity is united. He also uses colorful flower hues and literal flower shapes to reflect and enrich the notions of the human body. He says, “Though we are of different complexions, we are all basically of the same flesh. Regardless of our individual physical body appearances, culture, race, religion, sex, and gender, we are all united as one by our DNA.”
     
    Don’t miss these works in person during the holiday weekend, only on view for a limited time.

    Seth Fiifi Afful is a self-taught contemporary Ghanaian artist and painter who lives in Accra, the Capital city of Ghana. Born on June 1st, 1990, he is known for his unique and uniformly arranged patterns as used in both the background and on the subjects of his paintings.

     

    Seth is the third of four siblings and has been sketching since the age of nine. He was introduced into the art world as a boy by his brother, Foster Sakyiamah, who is also an artist. Despite Seth’s lifelong interest in the arts, he studied agriculture in college which may be some of the inspiration behind the vibrant colors in his paintings and the references to nature, humanity and the larger world.
