THE AFRICA EXHIBTION- 20 Acrylic Paintings of African Tribes and 20 Ceramic Sculptures of African Go

Embark on an Exquisite Journey with the Africa Exhibition: A Rare Opportunity for Art Collectors. Unveiling the Africa Exhibition: A Cultural Odyssey In a world that's increasingly focused on diversity and representation, the Africa Exhibition stands as a symbol of artistic and cultural resurgence. This magnificent collection is the culmination of a deep exploration into Africa's roots and ancient beliefs, brought to life through two distinct parts: 20 Tribes of Africa Collection of Large Acrylic on Canvas Paintings and 20 Gods of Africa Ceramic Sculpture Collection. Why This Collection Matters: The wake of the Black Lives Matter movement prompted the world to question the lack of ethnically diverse representations in museums and art galleries globally. It was this reflection, combined with artist Chinwe Russell's personal journey of reconnecting with her African roots, that led to the creation of these two remarkable collections that make up the Africa Exhibition. The artist's exploration of identity was supported by a grant from the Arts Council England. This collection is not just a display of art but a powerful statement in today's world, offering a unique opportunity for art collectors and institutions.
