Patrick Tagoe-Turkson is a Ghanaian contemporary artist known for upcycled tapestries of discarded flip flops. He received a Master of Fine Art Degree from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and technology in Kumasi, Ghana. Patrick has participated in over 100 exhibitions both locally and internationally. His work has been exhibited in France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Canada, Germany, South Korea, Japan, China, Austria, Mexico, United States, Senegal, Nigeria, Haiti, South Africa, Romania and Hungary.

His bold colors and intricate patterns are visually reminiscent of traditional African art forms variegated with a contemporary, unique approach to materials. Deeply aware of the environmental issues caused by plastic pollution, particularly flip flops that end up in oceans and waterways, he saw an opportunity to turn these discards into something meaningful and artistic. He engages local communities in collecting the detritus, turning what would otherwise be waste into a resource for creativity. Ironically, flip flops, which are commonly used footwear in many parts of Africa, he brings attention to both the ubiquity of plastic waste and the richness of African culture. Through his work, he encourages viewers to reflect on their own consumption habits, personal waste and their impact on the environment. He is also a member of several nature, land art and artists groups around the globe; promoting the concept of sustainability through art. Tagoe-Turkson's work is a testament to his artistic talent, environmental activism, and commitment to creating meaningful art that sparks dialogue and inspires positive change while honoring his cultural heritage.
