Saint Takyi

Saint Takyi

Saint Takyi was born in 1997 in the Netherlands. They graduated in MA Painting from the Royal College of Art in 2024, supported by the Sir Frank Bowling scholarship. Their most recent group exhibition, Come by Here, a collaboration with RCA BLK and curators Jarelle Francis and Louis Chapple, explored the artists’ desire to commune and imaginatively storytell. Saint uses the colour blue as a base, leaning on blue’s rarity in nature to create environments with ephemeral humanoids that symbolise the narratives from their daydreams, memories. Their practice continues to fuse elements of Ghanaian folklore and worldbuilding with anthropological photography. Takyi was a recipient of the 2024 Ingram Prize.
