Kwesi Abbensetts is een Amerikaanse schilder en fotograaf wiens werken op grote schaal zijn geëxposeerd in de Verenigde Staten, maar ook in het Verenigd Koninkrijk en Frankrijk. Hij beschrijft zichzelf als een intuïtionist en wordt geleid door een intuïtieve en onbewuste roeping die berust op wachten, spontane inspiratie en gevoel. De levendige, expressieve en diverse composities van Abbensetts zijn geboren uit kleur, experiment en verandering.
