Augustine Kofie is an Artist that was born and bred in Los Angeles. With an artistic education never going further then high school, Kofie’s skill set was formed through graffiti coming into prominence in the LA graff scene by the mid 90’s. Graffiti provided Kofie an understanding of colour, layering, points of perspective and arrangement enabling a technical foundation and love of both construction and form. Developing an abstract aesthetic dominated by shapes, the Artists’ desire to experiment and explore his surroundings visually is ‘inspired by the basic building blocks of the geometric world’ and has consequently formed his ‘retro-futuristic’ aesthetic as he plays with form, line and depth in his murals and illustrations.
