Neequaye Dreph Dsane
b. 1973, England

Neequaye Dreph works across painting, drawing, printmaking and large-scale street murals. Rooted in storytelling, his practice explores the relationship between drawing and painting, drawing upon observation, memory and digital collage to depict his deep appreciation for community and the everyday figures who inhabit both real and imagined spaces.

Neequaye is particularly drawn to the nuances of human connection, with recent work reflecting on intimacy, friendship, culture, isolation and the complexities of familial relationships.

A former secondary school art teacher and lecturer in illustration, he is currently undertaking an MFA in Painting at the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL. He lives and works in London.
