Akachi

Winfred Hawkins (AKACHI) is a multidisciplinary artist living in Montgomery Alabama. He earned his BFA from Savannah College of art and design. His artistic practice includes drawing, painting, music production, design, and poetry.

In 2012 Winfred developed ulnar nerve entrapment in both his arms. He spent the next five years reteaching himself how to draw with his opposite hand. “Creating realistic work takes skill, but it’s nothing more than eye candy. These days the most important thing, for me, is content. What, if anything, am I trying to say and why.”
