Ebenezer Nketsiah Mensah is an artist who recently graduated with an MFA in Studio Arts from the University of Florida. He received his BFA in Painting and Sculpture from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in 2018. Mensah's works serve as a powerful narrative that explores multifaceted themes such as identity, labor, history, migration, and the interplay of power through his paintings, sculptures, installations, and photo documentaries. His work focuses on construction and small-scale mining, known as ‘galamsey’ in Ghana. Mensah reflects on his lived experiences as a miner and a construction worker in Tarkwa, Ghana. Through his art, he raises critical issues surrounding this practice, delves into the lives of those involved, and scrutinizes their archetypal influence on communities in both Ghana and the U.S., where these activities occur, as well as the geopolitics involved in labor.

Mensah’s work has been shown in several exhibitions, nationally and internationally, including Sarasota, FL; Richmond, VA; Gainesville, FL; Gatlinburg, TN; and Ghana.

He has earned several awards and fellowships, including the Grinter Fellowship (upgraded to 12-month funding), the second-place award for the 2025 University of Florida Juried Exhibition, and the Windgate Fellowship, and he completed a residency at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts etc.

His evolving career continues to make a profound impact on contemporary art.
