Kojo Marfo's work has become familiar to Londoners living and working in the West End over the last two years since appearing in the 'Isolation Mastered' open competition finalists' exhibition at JD Malat Gallery in Mayfair in the summer of 2020 following months of lockdown.  His magnificent portrait paintings caught the eye of important collectors, so much so that Kojo was given a solo show in the summer of 2021, beautifully named 'Dreaming of Identity' (catalogue introduction written by podcast creator David Bellingham. In this podcast we discuss Kojo's influences and his poetic visual responses to the pandemic, his African heritage and contemporary global society and culture.
