Akwaaba@Nico presents Defiantly Happy, a solo exhibition from visual artist, Mashell Black. Join us for the official NAF Closing Reception on Sunday, October 9 at 6 pm!

Defiantly Happy is a series of works created using bold colors and stokes and punctuated Mashell’s signature splashes. These works capture the ills that plagued his emotions but they also capture the landscapes around him, playgrounds and happy times spent with his family. These works are emotionally charged, yet playful and witty and beckons the viewer to be a part of Mashell’s experience. Through his work, Mashell reminds us that though pain and fear is a part of our daily lives, we have to balance it with our own dose of happiness.
