African Art


Let me introduce you to the Philips. This Afrikaan couple have been producing quality art pieces of the African landscape and animal kingdom for decades. John Philip was born in South Africa. His wife, Barbara, hails from Harare, Zimbabwe. She graduated in interior design in the early 1970s. Check out their dual site RIGHT HERE.

WAK: The Modern Day Colossus of Black Art


Perhaps the most widely circulated black modern artist is kevin A. Williams. His pieces, often depicting a scantily clad man and woman, seem to be in a full 70 percent of African American homes and businesses. In fact, his collection of 50 lithograph prints – created under the “WAK Artistry” signature – is the most widely circulated urban fine arts series in the nation. His art has been featured on television’s “Law & Order” (NBC) and “Soul Food” and is said to be Oprah Winfrey's No. 1 artist. He even has an art series with comedian and actor Bernie Mac. This thirty-something self-taught artist has been creating mixed-medium pieces inspired by his coming of age during the 1970s and 1980s. " I try to capture the elements of love," he once said. Captures it he does. Check his site out RIGHT HERE.
