One’s sources of inspiration for art can be as mysterious as they are various: an inclination to record what one sees, an impulse to express what one feels, a desire to create something beautiful for beauty’s sake, and the most fundamental, the universal need to leave one’s mark. But there is also inspiration which comes from historical events that have remarkable consequences in our world.

Knyame’s work is refreshingly strong, distinctive, and an incredible weaving of color. His work urgently needs to share the cumulative effects of his West African homeland Ghana. Each work serves as examples of dedication to his formidable sense of order, containment and strength.

At first glance, the paintings and prints of Maison are incredibly detailed–recalling a pictographic symbol system referring to his rich Ghana heritage and language. Similar to pre-Columbian art and simple geometric-abstraction, Knyame’s paintings are multi-layered with various principal shapes– particularly spidery silhouetted human figures interacting with symbols– all anchored within a neatly defined pictorial space. These passages are elegant as stained glass and expressed in an obsessive urge similar to pointillism.

As one looks at the works of Knyame Maison, there is obviously a quiet inside each with a guiding voice to discover more about his culture and his life. His paintings occupy space outside the mainstream art establishment– and many claim to move one’s spirit into introspection of our own society.

From his series of monotypes, “The Apostles,” Asofu Flags, and his paintings, Knyame Maison reviews world history and cultures from Biblical times to modern Ghana to African American history. His monumental painting, “400 Years of History” is an explicit and overwhelming statement of slavery in America. It allows us to examine our own lives and consciences through art. As a naturalized citizen of the United States, Knyame Maison has made a testament to the consequences of American history.

Opening reception is First Friday, March 5, 2021 at the Peoria Art Guild from 5-9 PM at 203 Harrison St, Peoria Il 61604. Visitors may schedule times for the event under social distancing guidelines HERE
