Reginald Boateng

Ghana

Reginald Kofi Boateng (born September 1999) is a Ghanian visual artist born and based in Accra. Utilising an iPhone as his primary tool, Boateng crafts striking digital imagery that constructs a vivid, surreal world inhabited by deep black-skinned figures set against intense, highly saturated backdrops.
His practice explores themes of identity, emotional expression, and modern digital portraiture, transforming mobile photography into an evocative canvas of bold contrast and color. Through carefully composed surrealist compositions, Boateng celebrates the richness of Black subjects while challenging traditional mediums within contemporary art.
Boateng’s innovative approach has gained international recognition; his work has been featured in Prazzle magazine and exhibited with Calabar Gallery. By pushing the creative boundaries of accessible technology, he continues to carve out a distinct visual language within the evolving landscape of contemporary African art.
