story unfolds as told by the teller. The artist tells us something significant when we look at their work of art. We learn about their tribe, region, language, country, influence, issues, thoughts, likes, dislikes, etc.The artists that are featured at the Africa Cultural Gallery and Kumbu kumbu Gallery are unlike artists you will see anywhere else. These artists are their own unique creators. Taught to carve at childhood and having grown up with like minded artists, hey have forged themselves into world-class artists that capture our hearts and intrigue our thoughts
From all across Africa, Europe, Asia, North-America, these artists have influenced and been influenced with ideas, techniques and skills that liken them to their fellow counterparts elsewhere throughout the world. They bring with them the traditions of a world quickly disappearing into tomorrow; an ability to tell a story or whisper a thought.
As we feature over 70 of East Africa's top leading artists, we are in the process of building an on-line biography of the artists and their works. In the meantime, please take a peak of their works of art by visiting the links on the left.
