Ato Delaquis

Ato Delaquis (Born 1945) is known for Painting.

Ato Delaquis is one of Ghana's foremost artists.  Well known for his iconic paintings of horsemen, as well landscapes and more abstract work, he is also a prolific draughtsman, and has worked in a wide variety of media including printmaking.  His fascination with the horsemen of the Sahel began when he first saw them in the Cape Coast as a ten-year-old boy.  His childhood interest was further stimulated by an avid interest in "Cowboys and Indians" comics.
