Augustine Kofie: Hyper Geometry in Mexico City

From December 14 to 21 of 2013 , Augustine Kofie (California , USA), an iconic artist for his usage of geometry and contemporary constructive forms, painted a wall for ACCGS in collaboration with the We Care program from Herman Miller. Inspired by the basic shapes of blocks and geometry, the work of Augustine Kofie characteristically represents a retro-futuristic aesthetic that combines color and abstract shapes. Kofie plays with shapes, lines, balance and depth in his murals, illustrations and compositions, thus creating dynamic perspectives.

Kofie and his vintage futurism

Inspired by the basic building blocks of the geometric world, Augustine Kofie has formed a retro-futuristic aesthetic which transplants these shapes and angles into a soulful, organic, yet highly mathematical form of abstraction. Merging his traditional graffiti education, his inclination toward “certain color forms and certain application techniques”, with his deep love of illustration and preliminary design, his fondness for “drafts, architectural renderings and pre-production concepts”, Kofie plays with form and line, with balance and depth, twisting and manipulating his murals, his illustrations, his compositions, into ever new and dramatic arrangements.
