Art
in Southern Africa has an important place in everyday life. In these
regions, it is free, new, modern, sophisticated but natural and it
does meet very well the modern tendencies of many who appreciate art.
The material is ever changing but mostly attractive, of good quality,
and even often really precious, and it constantly evolves, art is
carved out of stone, wood, weaved out of basketry, wielded with metal,
it flourishes through bright colors in paintings, and even in little
bracelets and necklaces. The material is as important as the work, a
beautiful wood or a fascinating stone will clearly add to the delight
of handling any object.
The work & the talent which
bring a piece together are the other elements which make Southern
African art a very special world, and it is no accident that more and
more art from Zambia, Zimbabwe & Namibia is being sought after from
other continents. Creativity in these countries is everywhere, on the
streets, in the villages, in the big cities and every day new styles
& new types of expression are created. I collect,
promote & sell art and it's truly a lovely thing to do! I hope
you will enjoy perusing this website as much as I did getting it
together.
