The Guinness World Records has given its nod to Ace-Liam, a one-year-old Ghanaian art prodigy, as he embarks on a mission to break the existing record for the Youngest Male Artist.
From wielding a paintbrush at the tender age of six months, this ambitious toddler is poised to redefine history as the world’s youngest male artist. Currently held by Dante Lamb, who achieved the title at the age of three in 2003, the record is now within the grasp of this budding artistic sensation.
Ace-Liam’s mother, Chantelle Eghan, couldn’t contain her excitement, taking to TikTok to share the groundbreaking news and inviting followers to witness this remarkable endeavor.
The journey commenced with a special fine art exhibition at the Museum of Science and Technology on December 15, marking the official start of Ace-Liam’s quest for Guinness World Record glory.
Inspired by Hilda Baci’s cookathon record, Ms. Eghan revealed the financial commitment involved in the Guinness World Record application process.
To secure the record, Ace-Liam not only has to showcase his artistic prowess during the exhibition but also sell his creations and garner substantial media coverage.
The young prodigy’s artistic journey will unfold on his social media platforms, providing a captivating behind-the-scenes look at the creative process that has led to his impressive 13th painting.
Running from December 16 to January 21, 2024, the exhibition promises a unique opportunity for art enthusiasts to witness the extraordinary talent of this one-year-old artist. Ace-Liam’s pursuit challenges conventional notions of age limits in artistic achievements, adding a remarkable chapter to Ghana’s cultural landscape.
In a month brimming with ambitious records, Ace-Liam joins journalist Afua Asantewaa Aduonum, who is set to undertake a singing marathon (singathon) that would last between 117 to 120 hours.
This is one of the many attempts to showcase the diverse talents and aspirations emerging from Ghana onto the global stage.
