Local-based German graffiti artist, David Bethmann, was yesterday announced winner of Hennessy?s Special Futura Graffiti Art Competition.

He beat off competition from two others; Accra-based American Ram Ankh Film and NAFTI-trained artist, Prince Kojo-Hilton.

The announcement was made on the sidelines of a special signature bottle unveiling event held at the Cahaya Lounge, East Legon, to usher in a new Hennessy product range ? Futura. Ghana yesterday became the first country in West Africa to launch the new Hennessy product.

The highly patronized event, brought together the city?s most trendiest celebrities and corporate giants, in a setting that patrons have said was awesome.

PROFILE OF  DAVID BETHMANN

DASK made his first Spraycan experiences in 2000. Since then, he tried to push the boundaries of terms like ?public? and ?private?; ?ugly? and ?beauty?.

He is part of the Artists NMA (Nima Muhinmanchi Art Collective), who created the wonderful work at NIMA/Kanda highway entitled IMAGINE ACCRA.

?For my point of view, Graffiti is a beautiful fading in the changing city-life-process. Because of its divers faces, it is a fundamental democratic expression: It is part of a world full of possibilities and a world full of changes.?
