Featured Work

Blacklace 2 by Katie Grubb

Identity Series. Defining the merge of African and English cultural identity.
Mama Africa by Debbie Schiff

The African lady (MamaAfrica) with a zebra pattern on her clothing is representational of the people of Africa. She is the balance between nature and man. The elephant and seed pod with foliage are the symbols of nature which live in harmony. Below the trees on the top left, are the roots which anchor the elements firmly in the African soil. The arid landscape depicts the decay of nature, emphasizing the need to preserve what we have or it will be destroyed, hence the dead tree and Buffalo skull. A little inconspicuous (on screen) dungbeetle in the bottom right of the painting is rolling it’s dung ball into it’s nest…! Watercolour on 300gsm Waterford paper. W/N watercolour paints.

The Tile makes the Painting by Dani Dreyer

Oil on a slate wall/floor tile. January 2009. Long story but my friends kitchen walls are titled with slate tiles. He has some spare and gave me a few. From the moment that I picked up this tile I just knew that there was a hidden landscape on it. I used the natural cracks and bumps for this piece did not prime the tile, just started slapping paint on. Not quite sure if this is a success, you be the judge.. / Highly experimental of course.

About This Group

Do you have some sort of connection to AFRICA? If so, this is the group where you can showcase your African Art to the world.

At this moment, the group will only be looking at artists who do traditional artwork using traditional tools & mediums, i.e. oil, watercolor, acrylic, gouache, pastel painting, sculpting (wooden, marble, cast iron, etc.), charcoal, crayon, coloured pen, coloured pencil & pencil drawing, cartoon illustrating, etc. Minimal digital editing on artwork will be allowed as long as the traditional artwork is the main and only focus
NO Full out digital artwork at this stage (only minimal editing allowed to traditional artwork if the need is there).
NO Photographs see similar group African Art and Photography

This group wants to introduce you as an artist & show your art to the world.
Let’s put your passion for Africa, but mostly your artwork out there!
