Abdur Rahman Muhammad

Abdur Rahman Muhammad, is a Ghanaian artist from Accra. His oil paintings highlight personal and collective narratives of migration, challenging preconceived notions surrounding cultural identity and belonging. Influenced by everyday encounters, YouTube interviews, and historical contexts, Muhammad’s work explores the tension between decisive action and introspection. His compositions often focus on figures and symbolic objects, most notably the ‘Ghana Must Go’ travel bag, depicted in rich, vibrant palettes that reframe negative associations. By engaging with themes of displacement, hip-hop culture, and youth experiences, Muhammad’s art illuminates the nuanced realities of contemporary Ghanaian life and its global resonance.
