We are dedicated to providing the unsung artists of Africa a global African Art Gallery as a base from which to display and sell their unique African Art, African Craft, African Sculptures and other African Products.
We try to deal solely with the original artist's as far as possible. The African continent however, offer such an abundance of original artworks and crafts that it necessitates dealing with traders to obtain the variety of products displayed.

By supporting our online art gallery you are not only getting access to the most unique pieces of African art and craft but you are also supporting a family somewhere in Africa, who in general earn less than $1 US per day.

Art galleries in Africa is nearly nonexistent, and there is no basic support system to enable artists to make a living. Art Galleries in western society generally does not cater for this market. We obtain huge amounts of satisfaction sourcing the tribal art. Sometimes at the most primitive and exposed sites next to the road or in a makeshift shack close to a tourist attraction or major road. Dealing with the most basic of people who exhibit their natural talent in such a honest fashion, is a very pleasant way of making a living.

The fine collection of African Art and craft displayed reflect the aspirations, dreams and a way of life in Africa. Masks, figures and heads are meticulously carved by artisans, not only to please the eye, but also to serve as an intermediary between man and the spirit world. Previously, African Art has been exhibited with reference only to cultural context and use. Latest developments and understanding of aesthetic principles, religious and ceremonial values have brought about a greater insight into the ideas and moral values that African artists express in their work.

This Art Gallery was created with the help of many excellent African and South African artists. Items are carefully selected to reveal the astonishing variety and expressive power of the art of the continent that contains more distinct people and cultures than any other. We attempt to authenticate every object we purchase. This is a complex task, since African art is rarely signed or dated and vendors do not keep records of its movement or origin. Most detail is remembered by a process I am yet to understand. As in any art gallery, attribution is an ongoing process prone to some errors.

Unique African Art not only serve as an investment but also add a new flavor to any home, restaurant, hotel, office or reception area. Original pieces are now highly sought after, by collectors and art lovers from all over the world.
