Frederick Botchway’s practice derives its bases from art history, specifically the Western Academic period, merging them with his local experiences.His works critique, reinvent and reinterpret what is traditionally known as an oil painting. He approaches his processes with an experimental and very liberal attitude, paying attention to the iconography and materiality of the medium (oil paint). His body of work also incorporates photography and various editing processes. He explores multiple genres of painting, not alluding to the hierarchical canon of importance. In exploring these genres, Botchway superimposes cooking oil with oil paint over the surface of hisphotographic prints. His works merge these experimental tendencies with minimalist sensibilities to produce a new art piece. Botchway is a Master in Fine Art graduate of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana. His notable exhibitions include the FNB Joburg Art Fair, Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg, South Africa (2018) and Orderlydisorderly, Museum of Science and Technology, Accra, Ghana (2016-2017). Additionally, he participated in Cornfields In Accra, Museum of Science and Technology, Accra (2016-2017). Botchway was also one of the three artists to be first represented by TAAH at the 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair, London in 2023, receiving widespread critical acclaim.
