Visual Art was one of the rewarding natural skills most people could easily fall for, with some investing significant amounts to get artworks from Paul Lartey and Oti’s.
I remember in 2010, when very few people knew much about digital graphics and printout, most people were familiar with artworks of Paul Lartey and Oti’s at basic schools where they drew animals and fruits on walls.
Back at the Recently demolished Tendamba Primary School, the works of Paul Lartey were visible, in Wa Zongo we saw some drinking spots had artworks depicting the realities of life. Drawings that gave directions and clues to places and Businesses.
Things went so well and the Job was rewarding some artworks could earn artists close to Gh¢20 which was equivalent to $20 by the year 2010. That excluded cost of Securing Paint by close to two decades ago, as at Today(2026), Some of Noble Designers are gone to their maker.
Art is conceptual, a key thing I remember from Conceptual Artwork Center close to Tendamba JHS. Things can really pass by and lose some value in the eyes of new generations but the Only thing that is constant is Change.
