Elolo Bosoka
Containers
SOL is looking forward to presenting the exhibition Containers, by Ghanaian artist Elolo Bosoka.
For his first solo show in Denmark, Bosoka will make a bold move and cover the walls inside the gallery space, with his emblematic tapestry-like compositions made from reused plastic-mesh onion sacks. In Containers, we also find a new series of work that Bosoka has created during his residency on Bornholm.
In Bosoka’s exhibition we see an interest that flows from the artworks and into the spaces they inhabit. In SOL, he turns and twists the idea of the white cube as a neutral container for individual artwork. In Bosoka's work the self-referential doesn’t exist. Instead it reminds us of the manyfold networks we humans are part of: the economic, social and emotional webs constantly at play in our daily lives.

Elolo Bosoka is an artist-producer dedicated to poetic pathways through cultural infrastructure. He is interested in the relation between art and everyday life, and how porous flows could be established between people, spaces, materials, and circuits of exchange. He is known for luminous and delicate installations of seemingly rough and common materials. Bosoka uses media, tools, and strategies that come from markets, meanderings, mass production, new media, and his mother. His democratised attitude toward art privileges the common as well as the personal.
Bosoka received his BFA and MFA from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi, Ghana, in 2015 and 2019, respectively. He is a Prince Claus awardee and an alumnus of the Delfina Foundation. Bosoka is the founder and director of baseprojects and a member of blaxTARLINES KUMASI, the contemporary art incubator of the Department of Painting and Sculpture, KNUST.
