FAMOUS ARTIST Daniel Kwesi Mensah

Daniel Kwesi Mensah also known as ‘’Scrappa’’ is a multidisciplinary creative and artist. His artwork can be described as ‘’refined street art’’ or ‘’pop-art’’. This is primarily because of the context of his work as he is mostly recognised as a muralist. This technique is transferred unto the canvas and other media.

His artwork is heavily inspired by hip-hop culture taking on hip-hop related subjects, motifs and graphic elements with graffiti spray paint being the main technique. Taking on various forms such as site-specific wall murals, installations or on canvas, plywood, roofing sheets, metals among other materials.

Using hip-hop as a subject matter, allows the work to relate with youth culture and its familiar street sensibilities. This exploration also gives his work a transcultural appeal in its iconographic and aesthetic nature. His personal experiences as an all-round multidisciplinary singer, actor, model, and musician adds to the many layers of his artistry embodied in the artwork he produces.
