Ernest Kobina Adusah, MFA Ceramics Student in the Department of Industrial Art at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi (KNUST) has gained international recognition for his work within the modern art market.

He was featured in the 2025 Loewe Foundation Craft Prize Exhibition, where his sculptural clay vessels, including ‘I Still Face You’ were displayed for their striking features and the stories they convey. 

As a young artist with contemporary exposure, Adusah’s work draws on spiritual knowledge and oral traditions within the Ghanaian cultural context while addressing the ongoing impact of Western culture and systems which were imposed on society.

Sharing on his work, he said his practice is shaped by the ideology of land being historical and carrying meaning.

“My work is rooted in the belief that the earth we walk holds memory, mystery, and story,” he stated.

Adusah described how what the earth provides him is not just an immobile material but one that carries ancestral presence, suppressed grief and a quite desire.

“Clay, to me, is not inert. It breathes with ancestral weight. It carries echoes of forgotten rituals, silent pain, and whispered dream,” he said.

With every piece created, Adusah said it was a conversation beyond the physical artistry work.

“Each vessel I create is a dialogue not just between hand and material, but also between worlds,” he emphasized.
