Message from the artist,
My name is Mark Nii Hylton and I am a native of Ghana, a country known for its
beautiful white sandy beaches, stunningly colorful Kentey cloth and up-tempo,
dance style known as highlife. Throughout my life, Africa has given me the
blessing of exposure to the inspiring world of contemporary abstract art. While
attending school in the USA, I developed my style as a continuity of traditional
African art and further advanced to capture psychosocial, political, cultural,
ethical ideas. My style ranges from detailed application of paint to lose confident
brush strokes. Most of my works are engulfed around the subject of music and
dance. These themes help portray the entertaining and artistic life style of the
African society. Strong, vivid and bright colors bring my works to life as these
colours help to inspire the mind’s eye of observers. Hylton Gallery is currently

Nii Hylton: Trading Conflict For Success
By Gathinja Yamokoski and Nii Hylton
Anyone who has any critique of African art has heard the story of a struggling African artist. Whether it is finding the
means to pay for materials, finding clients to buy their paintings, or being a victim of exploitive deals from gallery
brokers, the African artist generally reflects the story of trying to be successful against all odds.
What we don't always hear about are the ins and outs of victory a determined artist undergoes in order to achieve their
success. What we see instead is their finished art pieces. And we love them! But do we intimately know the feelings,
ideas and stories of why they chose to create that painting?.........read more
