Teddy Pratt is a Swiss-based, Sierra Leonean mixed media artist specialising in painting and sculpture. His artistic themes are often derived from a variety of global discourses reflecting on contemporary culture, political and social events.
Teddy who holds a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts from the University of Zurich believes that the interpretation of his art is ultimately in the eye of the beholder. He tries to incorporate various materials in his projects, using form and pattern to draw a connection between them.
Teddy's themes are particularly interested in the dominant Western theories of culture in relation to other cultures over the centuries, both aesthetically and historically.
His conceptual approach is a unique expression of different mythology that taps into alternative possibilities of human creativity and suggests that we are not alone in the universe.
“I only allow a juxtaposition between the viewer and my work to provoke a confrontation between them. It is important for me not only to give the viewer an impression through visual aesthetic but to also confront them with a discourse.”
