TY - JOUR T1 - Reading Al Hassan Issah’s Radicant Formalism JF - Ghana Studies JO - Gha Stu SP - 215 LP - 222 DO - 10.3368/gs.25.1.215 VL - 25 IS - 1 AU - Kwasi Ohene-Ayeh Y1 - 2023/02/15 UR - https://gs.uwpress.org/gs.uwpress.org/content/25/1/215.abstract N2 - This exhibition review analyzes Al Hassan Issah’s debut solo exhibition in terms of the artist’s spatial approach to painting, which transgresses the traditional limits of the medium. One could suggest that the exhibition presents an altermodern criticism of the formalist ethos of modern art that is influenced by academic, mainstream art, and quotidian sources. The article argues that Issah’s formalism considers painting as a synthesis of structural, plastic, spatial, temporal, and aural forms. ER -
