TribeArts.com are specialist suppliers of African Tribal Art.
My interest in African art was kindled in Nigeria whilst growing up in Ibadan, the largest city in Nigeria 100 miles north of Lagos. Not far away was the Benin Kingdom famous for its stunning art, most notably bronzes dating back to the 15th century. I was fascinated by the wood carving practice of making virtually all objects from figures to furniture from a single piece of wood, which I later understood to be the unifying element in African art south of the Sahara.
This early fascination with the complex cultural and economical essence of African creativity led to a lifetime of collecting African art that, in turn, has resulted in the desire to share this passion through trading in tribal art.
TribeArts.com provides a glimpse into Africa's enormous creative traditions in tribal artworks and offers many unusual and exciting quality artefacts.
