Untitled Art, Miami 2025: Kelvin Haizel
A50
Gallery 1957 is thrilled to present Ashanti Blues, a solo exhibition by Kelvin Haizel at Untitled Art, Miami 2025. As part of the inaugural Artist Spotlight sector curated by interdisciplinary artist Petra Cortright, this immersive new body of work translates rhythm, memory, and cultural heritage into visual form—where paint, clay, and thread converge in a layered dialogue between sound and material.
Spanning large-scale canvases that explore texture, colour, and materiality, Ashanti Blues embodies the emotional and historical resonance of Ghanaian Highlife music. The works combine a variety of materials and gestures, resulting in complex visual tones that summon the subconscious, conjure aesthetic habits of infantility alongside learned academic choices, and respond to the cultural landscape of urban life.
Ashanti Blues offers more than visual intrigue—it is a meditation on continuity and transformation, a series where tradition is not preserved but re-sounded, re-felt, and remade. Through this synthesis of material experimentation, historical reflection, and emotional resonance, Haizel invites the viewer to experience rhythm as both a cultural force and a deeply personal encounter.
Join us at Booth A50 from 3 - 7 December 2025 to experience the works in person!
