Gavin Rossdale, of Bush:
“Kojo has an uncanny ability to incorporate the future with the past. Frailty, strength and interdependence all woven into bright hopeful colour. He is an artist who showers us with his own history whilst finding pathways of connection for all of us . As if we are all in this together.”
