South African Art
South African art is the art created by the people who live in modern South Africa, which is where some of the world's oldest art objects were found.
Modern South African art reflects the experiences of South African people during apartheid and the impact of European influence in the region. It is evident in the art created by Africans as they navigate contemporary traditions and the influence of the Dutch on both white and black artists.
Tribal art in South Africa encompasses diverse forms like beadwork, pottery, wood carving, mask making, and body adornment. These forms are closely tied to the cultural and spiritual beliefs of the tribes and play a role in rituals, ceremonies, and daily life.

We collaborate with artists to create both limited editions and works on paper.
A limited edition is part of a unique series of pieces. Limited editions are fixed in quantity, meaning we will only ever produce a certain number.
Framing options vary for each piece and are listed on the individual artwork pages. All pieces are framed with 90% UV acrylic glass.
Yes, 100%. We work directly with our artists to create editions that accurately represent their body of work. Additionally, every artist personally reviews and approves their final editions.
Each edition comes with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity (COA) signed by the artist. Additionally every edition will be signed, marked, or numbered on the edition itself.
Works on paper and some originals don't come with a COA.
No—the copyright is not transferred to the purchaser of the edition.
All the ins and outs can be found on our orders and shipping page.
