African Gift Updates of New Arrivals
Gift Update Service for Serious Art Collectors and Tribal Enthusiasts.
Do to fact that each art piece is unique you can expect completely new art to arrive periodically. Our next shipment arrives in mid-July, 2002. All of our African works of art are distributed on a first come, first serve, basis. Join our Mailing List to keep up do date on our newest carving in wood, stone, fabric, and metal.

Instead of the spirit of the art piece speaking to the artist and liberating itself from the stone through the hands of the carver, the beauty of nature is brought to the stone and frozen in time. The inspiration is external rather than internal, the idea comes from the beauty of the land and the geopsyche of the earth crossing points into the mind of the artist. The carver finds himself out this inner-outer life, the results are striking.

Value, (despite recognized benchmarks) 'artistic value' is a personal measurement. For the collector, the broader understanding of this subject can result in a 'feeling' for a particular work that may invoke no reaction at all from someone else. While we only concern ourselves with tribal relics in this section, we certainly do not exclude the artistic value of other tribal artworks or contemporary African art.

Contemporary wildlife carvings, stone sculptures and paintings from Africa are enormously popular with both art collectors and wildlife enthusiasts alike. Is it a unique inspiration or affinity the African artist has for the wildlife which he sharesenvironments with? Perhaps the light the artist works with? The African concept of "oneness" that gives the tribal artist a special insight which is reflected in his carvings? -whatever it is, it is recognized and appreciated by art lovers the world over!
