African Art

Inside African Art

"The darkest thing about Africa has always been our ignorance of it"
-- George H. T. Kimble, from the book 'Inside Africa'


Inside African Art is a project run by three people, Todd in Kenya and Gathinja and Jonah in New York. We have one thing in mind: The promotion and exposure of original fine arts by African artists. Contemporary African paintings are less well known than African artifacts and traditional crafts, and there is little exposure and availability of this type of artwork either in galleries or on the internet.
Yes, there are plenty of mass-produced artworks, African crafts, and Afri-kitch available, but finding an original African painting at a reasonable price is next to impossible - and it shouldn't be!

I Love This Painting As It Is Very Roots'y & Vibrant.
The Women In The Painting Are Of An African Heritage But Are Shown As Jet Black Stick People , Showing That The Artist Was More Interested In The Colors Surrounding The Main Subjects 'The Women'.
