Vintage Ghanaian Barbershop Sign by Papa Warsti

Hand painted in Ghana on a recycled flour sack, this original work by Papa Warsti reflects a visual language rooted in everyday life.

Papa Warsti is part of a lineage of Ghanaian artists from the Teshie Accra area who created barbershop signs not just as advertisements, but as identity markers bold, direct, and deeply connected to the communities they served. These works were made to be seen, remembered, and trusted.

There is no template here. What you see is interpretation, instinct, and lived experience translated through paint.

Ideal for collectors drawn to African street culture, Black visual history, and pieces that carry presence beyond decoration.
