Ace-Liam Nana Sam Ankrah (born 16 July 2022), also known as Ace-Liam, is a Ghanaian painter who holds the Guinness World Record[1] for the world’s youngest male artist.[2] He gained initial recognition after receiving a commission from Rebecca Akufo-Addo, the First Lady of Ghana.[3]
Early life and artistic beginnings[edit]
Ace-Liam was born on 16 July 2022 in Accra Ghana, to artist and single mother Chantelle Kuukua Eghan.[4][5] Liam began showing interest in art and paintings at the age of six months and has since created over twenty paintings.[6][7]
Guinness world record[edit]
In May 2024, GWR announced that an attempt to record for the world’s youngest male artist has been archived, which was previously held by Dante Lamb [8] who set the record in 2003 at the age of three.[1][9] Liam broke the record at one year and 152 days old.[10]
The First Lady of Ghana, Rebecca Akufo-Addo, visited Liam's first group exhibition, the Soundout Premium Exhibition at the Museum of Science and Technology in Accra, Ghana.[11][12]
