Larry Otoo (Ghanaian, born 1956) Combo Gang signed 'L. OTOO' (lower right); signed, dated, titled and inscribed 'Combo Gang/ (Acnylies)/ Lary Otoo/ Ghana/ 2008) (on verso) oil on canvas 151 x 182cm (59 7/16 x 71 5/8in). Footnotes: Larry Otoo is a leading figure of contemporary Ghanaian painting, known for a vibrant semi-abstract language rooted in the rhythms of everyday life in Accra. Describing himself as a 'contemporary traditionalist,' Otoo draws on markets, street life, music and communal gatherings, allowing figures and urban scenes to emerge through layers of colour and expressive brushwork. Jazz is a particularly important influence on his practice, shaping not only his subject matter but also the rhythm and movement of his compositions. Trained at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Otoo has exhibited extensively in Ghana and internationally, across Europe and the United States. His work forms part of prominent public and institutional settings, including Ghana's chancery in Washington, D.C.
