Artist Profile

Manyi Takor
Multidisciplinary artist from the UK
Manyi Takor is a multidisciplinary artist from the UK, currently based in London. Working across drawing, painting, and sculpture, her practice interrogates themes of identity, memory, and cultural transmission, with a particular focus on communities rooted in oral history and symbolic communication. Drawing from her personal history and familial narratives—especially stories passed down by her mother—Manyi creates richly layered, often life-sized works that merge abstract and figurative elements. Her materials and processes reflect both construction and erosion, leaving visible traces of transformation across each surface. Manyi holds a BA (Hons) in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins, is pursuing an MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art (2025), and is a recipient of the Frank Bowling Scholarship.
