| dbo:abstract | Ben Agbee is an artist of Ghana. He was born in Ghana in 1966, and majored in art at college. He graduated in 1989. After graduation, Agbee continued to paint while he worked in advertising and design. Working mostly in acrylic on canvas, Agbee focuses almost exclusively on the subject of African women, usually in profile, often drawing on two different motifs for their depiction. Some works, such as Wait A Minute, show them talking in groups, and are characterized by intricate detail of symbols embedded in their clothing or the canvas background. Others, such as Migration, feature the dark, clean profiles of these women on backgrounds of colorful, geometric shapes, somewhat evocative of sand dunes. Agbee has participated in several collective and individual exhibitions in Accra, other locations in Ghana, the Netherlands, the United States, New Zealand and other locations internationally. Along with Ethiopian modern artist Wosene Worke Kosrof, he is one of the few artists to have his work featured annually in the Contemporary African Art calendar published by . (en) Ben Agbee est un artiste du Ghana. Il est né au Ghana en 1966, et s'est spécialisé dans l'art à l'université. Il a obtenu son diplôme en 1989. Après son diplôme, Agbee a continué à peindre tout en travaillant dans la publicité et le design. Travaillant principalement à l'acrylique sur toile, Agbee se concentre presque exclusivement sur le sujet des femmes africaines, généralement de profil, s'inspirant souvent de deux motifs différents pour leur représentation. Certaines œuvres, telles que Wait A Minute, les montrent en train de parler en groupe, et sont caractérisées par des détails complexes de symboles intégrés dans leurs vêtements ou dans le fond de la toile. D'autres, comme Migration, présentent les profils sombres et nets de ces femmes sur des fonds de formes géométriques colorées, qui évoquent quelque peu des dunes de sable . Agbee a participé à plusieurs expositions collectives et individuelles à Accra, dans d'autres villes du Ghana, aux Pays-Bas, aux États-Unis, en Nouvelle-Zélande et dans d'autres endroits du monde. Avec l'artiste moderne éthiopien Wosene Worke Kosrof, il est l'un des rares artistes dont les œuvres figurent chaque année dans le calendrier de l'art africain contemporain publié par Avalanche Publishing.
