Nteasee House Art Gallery Features Edrose Art Gallery Exhibition
Renowned Ghanaian artist Edward Lamptey brings vibrant, culturally rich works from the Edrose Art Gallery to the Nteasee House Art Gallery in East Legon, Accra — curated by Malachi "Mac" Elliott.
The Nteasee House Art Gallery continues to establish itself as a cultural hub in East Legon, Accra, with a stunning exhibition featuring works from the Edrose Art Gallery by renowned Ghanaian artist Edward Lamptey.
The exhibition was made possible through the partnership between Lamptey and Malachi "Mac" Elliott, the Nteasee House Art Gallery Partner and Curator. Elliott, who curates the rotating gallery at Nteasee House, has been instrumental in bringing authentic Ghanaian and diaspora art to the boutique bed & breakfast's cultural space.
The Art of Edward Lamptey
Edward Lamptey is known for his bold, intricate compositions that weave together geometric patterns, Adinkra symbolism, and vibrant color palettes rooted in West African visual traditions. His works are a celebration of African identity, heritage, and the spiritual connection between past and present.

The pieces on display at Nteasee House showcase Lamptey's signature style: densely layered geometric forms in vivid pinks, yellows, blues, and purples set against deep black backgrounds. Each composition invites viewers to discover hidden symbols, faces, and stories within the intricate patchwork of patterns.

The partnership with the Edrose Art Gallery represents KGEDC's commitment to supporting the creative economy in Ghana and building bridges between local artists and an international audience of guests, investors, and cultural enthusiasts who visit Nteasee House.
"Art tells the story of who we are. At Nteasee House, every piece on our walls connects our guests to the rich cultural heritage of Ghana and the African diaspora. Edward Lamptey's work does exactly that — it celebrates our identity with boldness and beauty."
