Joseph Amedokpo (PRODUCT) RED(TM)
Joseph Amedokpo was born in Badougbe, a small village near the town of Vogan, Togo, (West Africa) in 1946. At the age of eight, he moved to Lagos, Nigeria, where he received his education and art training, receiving a scholarship in fine art at the Yaba Trade Center. Joseph returned to Vogan in the early ’80s to care for his family after his mother fell ill, and from that time, has supported himself and his family through his painting. He lives in Vogan with his wife and has five children. Joseph paints using locally available oils and his canvases are recycled flour sacks. His studio is part of his family compound, where a tin roof shelters him from the intense African sun and the seasonal rains.
As he paints, Joseph visits with locals and listens to shortwave radio from other parts of the world. He scribbles on a blackboard the names of people and events he is curious about. Katrina. Tsunami. The current crop of political leaders. The AIDS crisis in Africa. His paintings touch on the failures and weaknesses of people, as well as their core strength, their hopes — how all kings eventually dance naked, brought down to earth with the rest of us. He hopes his participation with Dell and (PRODUCT) RED™ will expose his art to more people, and he is glad that his paintings will help eliminate AIDS in Africa.
