About The Artwork

"Wofa" is Fanti (Ghanaian language) word meaning Uncle. This piece celebrates the so called extended family member who in minuscule ways influenced the intellectual development of that little boy or girl in the village. It celebrates that teachers who hang around to educate that little boy or girl in the village. In the village one could be referred to as an uncle without necessarily being blood related so long he plays that positive role.

After receiving an undergraduate degree from College of Art, University of Science and Technology in Kumasi Ghana, I joined Johnson Aterlier in 1989. At Johnson Atelier I took off for two years from 1993 to 1995 to earn a Masters of Arts degree in sculpture from Rutgers University, Mason Gross School of the Arts in New Brunswick, New Jersey.

Bright Bimpong's work is in many collection in US, Europe and Africa and the Carribean. Some of the major collections include
