A look at art from Africa with FNB Art Joburg

The FNB Art Joburg art fair is central to showing emerging contemporary artists from Africa. Johannesburg, being a cultural hub of South Africa, does a fine job of bridging the immense geographic discrepancies of the continent and aims to display as much art as possible under one umbrella. Whether it is the pensive portraits by Nigerian artist Oliver Okolo or the market scenes of Zambian artist Kandy Daka there's something appealing for everyone. Although art from Africa is highly prized it is still relatively unknown but FNB Art Joburg aims to play a critical role in shaping today's African artists and we hope to see more talent coming out of this continent in the future. I found the whole art fair equally engaging and I hope you do too.
