Rita Fatric Bewong: Fashioned From The Environment, Framed In Time And Finished In Color.

This portfolio presents the artworks of a young Ghanaian artist and her practice as one of several female artists working on the contemporary genre in the twenty-first century, in Ghana. It discusses her artworks, her local and international exhibitions and other public engagements.

Her artworks mainly focus on the natural and built environment and explore themes such as consumerism, discarded waste, loss, death, memory, healing and cultural narratives. With her broad spectrum and exposure, however, some of her works touch on other themes such as economics, gender and identity. She uses her art to invite her viewers/patrons to contemplate nature and the environment and question our relationship and interactions with it. Bewong uses her art to unravel the complexities of social reality and interactions using a multimedia approach that includes performance, installations, painting, photography, video, and sound.
