About the Item
In this portrait, a young man stands with quiet confidence against a richly textured pink background. Dressed in a color-blocked tank top of rose, gold, and blue paired with crisp white shorts, this figure is both striking and approachable. A blue bucket hat frames his vivid eyes, rendered in Blau’s signature piercing blue, drawing the viewer into direct engagement.
At his side, a simple wooden table holds a vase of white flowers, a subtle yet symbolic detail that softens the composition while grounding the figure in a space that feels both intimate and ceremonial. The interplay of bold flat colors, textured backdrop, and meticulous detail reflects Letsu’s ability to merge contemporary aesthetics with cultural resonance.
This painting exemplifies his gift for capturing both individuality and universality, making his work highly sought after among collectors of modern figurative painting and African contemporary art. His ability to transform everyday subjects into timeless icons has established him as a rising voice in the Los Angeles art scene and a featured artist at the West Hollywood art gallery.

Philip Letsu is a Ghanaian artist currently living and working in Ho, Ghana. Komla’s practice is driven by the significant need to document urban lifestyles and culture. Focusing on the power memories and imagination in relation to representation and identity formation, Philip creates paintings that confronts issues surrounding representation with the intention to document that which is neglected. The artist uses both colors in his subjects, the attire they wear, and the places inhabited to evoke a sense of urban lifestyle and culture, while focusing on the power of memories and imagination. His artistic journey confronts issues surrounding representation with the intention to document that which is neglected: the power of innocence. In his words, Letsu expresses, “My greatest inspiration is the innermost satisfaction derived after a quiet time, when I take some time off to explore positive energies found within to make paintings that feed the visual need and breed the admiration from people." Philip Letsu studied in the prestigious Ghanatta College of Arts and design in Ghana in 2016 - the same school that has produced many significant artists like Amoako Boafo, Otis Kwame, Key Quaicoe, Kwesi Botchway and the likes. He has participated in a number of local exhibitions in the country.
