About Artist
Lawrence Amoo (b. 1996) is a Ghanaian artist whose creative journey unfolds through the mediums of hyper-realistic drawing of human figures, figurative painting of black identities, and other multi-disciplinary art forms. Amoo is currently working and living in Sekondi-Takoradi and a native of Prestea, in the Western Region of Ghana. Amoo studied visual arts in high school and holds a Bachelor of Technology in Animation and Illustration from the Takoradi Technical University.
ARTIST STATEMENT
My artistic journey began at the age of seven when I started pencil drawing competitions with my classmates from primary school. This cultivated my extreme interest and passion for art's monochromatic simplicity, allowing me to focus on the nuances of light and shadow.
My palette of charcoal and graphite allows me to distil the essence of my subjects, not just by converting photographs into drawings but also by depicting details to tell stories with deep emotions and highlighting the exploration of the human form to capture the essence and individuality of each subject with precision and sensitivity.
My artistry now revolves around the representation of black identity, which transcends conventional series of canvas oil paintings to celebrate the multifaceted beauty of African blackness through a vibrant exploration of diverse skin tones. With bold colours and dynamic compositions, I capture the essence of Ghanaian cultural traditions and modern artistic expressions, highlighting the vibrancy and resilience of my local communities. Each canvas is a testament to the kaleidoscope of hues that define the rich spectrum of melanin, capturing the essence of individuality within the broader tapestry of shared heritage

"Another Dress Rehearsal" Oil on Canvas Fantasy Surreal celebrated London artist
By George Underwood
Located in Southampton, NY
In continuing with representing fine artists that are connected to the music industry we are please to announce that we are the only gallery in the United States representing the oil on canvas paintings of acclaimed British artist George Underwood. That is great news for collectors based in the United States. They do not have to pay any import fees or international shipping costs or any international tariffs which are costly. So this is a great opportunity to purchase a work of art by this acclaimed British artist. His paintings have been described as Magical with a touch of Fantasy.
When David Bowie, a life long friend of George Underwood, was asked about the paintings of George Underwood, Bowie said "George has, over the years, refined his work to the point where I would put him among the top figurative painters coming out of the UK.... There's a sublime isolation surrounding his subjects that really touches the viewer, the figures being both heroic and vulnerable simultaneously".
George Underwood, a life-long friend of David Bowie, were in early bands together and Underwood was asked by Bowie to created the classic cover artwork for David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust" album and also for David's "Hunky Dory" album. George felt that his friend artist Terry Pastor would better create the hand colored airbrush look for the album covers so he had Terry create the cover artwork.
A fun fact is that David and George were both in the same art class taught by Peter Frampton's Dad when they were youngsters and they remained great friends throughout David's life. I have included some images of Bowie and George Underwood over the years in this listing to show the close relationship they had since they were young lads.
This oil painting by George Underwood is titled "Another Dress Rehearsal...

The Vision - Surreal Black Female Portrait
Located in Miami, FL
This earlier work depicts an unexpected multicolored cone extending from the subject's eye. It represents a field of vision for a young Haitian female who gazes up. It reminds me of something Man Ray or the Dadaists did. Duval-Carrié's work is more than eye-opening.
