British Ghanaian artist Adelaide Damoah works at the intersection of painting and performance within the context of colonialism, identity, sexuality, and spirituality. Her current practice involves using her body as a ‘living paintbrush’ to paint or print onto various surfaces. Damoah describes her practice as ‘generating a spontaneous communi(cati)on between myself and an audience using a performance in which I function as a channel [for] a recorded history of what was previously known but became unknown in the past [and] becomes uncannily known again in the present, only to become unknown again at the end of the performance.’ She cites Judy Chicago, Jean-Michel Basquiat, David Hammons, Yves Klein, Sokari Douglas Camp CBE, Rachel Ara, and Ana Mendieta among her main influences. In 2019, Damoah was appointed as an academician of the Royal West of England Academy (RWA). She is also a founding member of the Black British Female Artists collective and the Intersectional Feminist Art collective. Her work has been exhibited globally.
