Artist Profile
Theophilus Tetteh (NiiOdai)
Experimental and expressionist artist from Ghana
Theophilus Tetteh (known under the brush name of NiiOdai) is from the capital city of Accra, Ghana. As a painter, he works in a diverse variety of themes, which include crowds, architecture, landscapes, townscapes, portraits and Ghanaian village scenes. One noticeable feature in Odai's work is the use of colour in its fresh, almost primary and raw state. His ability to use colour this way and still achieve that solidity of depth and content is a unique trait that gives Nii Odai's style of painting an identity. Theophilus is a member of the Ghana Association of Visual Artist (GAVA).
