About the Item
This Cigarette Box Sculpture Maquette by renowned Ghanaian artist Paa Joe is a striking example of his masterful craftsmanship and symbolic design. Created in 2022, the work is meticulously hand-carved from wood, finished with rich oil paint, and fitted with metal hinges, allowing the piece to open and close like an oversized, sculptural tobacco box. Measuring H25 x W60 x D20 cm, it embodies Paa Joe’s signature blend of bold form, cultural commentary, and fine artisanal detail.
Widely celebrated as one of Ghana’s most important contemporary artists, Paa Joe (born Joseph Tetteh Ashong) is internationally known for his fantasy coffins—vivid, custom-made sculptural works that merge art, tradition, and storytelling. His pieces have been exhibited globally, from Tate Britain to the Brooklyn Museum, and are collected for their conceptual depth and exceptional handcraft.
This maquette reflects the artist’s ability to transform an everyday object into a meaningful sculptural statement, offering both visual impact and cultural resonance. A rare opportunity to acquire a work by a visionary figure in African contemporary art.
