The ‘Africa Now: Modern Africa’ sales of post-war modern African art will continue to be held as usual in May of each year. It has been a most exhilarating journey for all those connected with the contemporary African art market. The interest from collectors, institutions and the media continues to grow, and as the market leaders in this field, Bonhams receives more enquiries about this Giles Peppiatt Hannah O’Leary collecting category than any other. Director Head of department We are justifiably proud of the current catalogue and particularly with the breadth of countries that are represented. The artists are also wonderfully varied in their output; we have sculpture paintings, photography and textiles all creating a vibrant synthesis of what is so exciting about African art today. The market will continue to grow, prosper and mature as new artists, collectors and dealers are drawn to this stimulating field. At Bonhams we are convinced that contemporary African art has a bright future and are delighted to be leading the world in realising the potential that exists within Africa and its thrilling new artists. We do hope that within this catalogue you will find many works that Alice Thomson Eliza Sawyer catch your eye. Please enjoy its contents and we look forward to your Cataloguer Cataloguer participation in the auction, whether by telephone, online or in person. 1 EL ANATSUI (GHANAIAN, BORN 1944) ‘The Pilgrims’ each piece numbered (verso) carved wood relief with acrylic 52.5 x 170.5cm (20 11/16 x 67 1/8in). in 18 pieces £30,000 - 50,000 €42,000 - 69,000 US$47,000 - 78,000 Provenance Purchased by the current owner from Signature Gallery, Lagos circa 1990.

  • Natural Materials Pancho Jiménez Nnenna Okore Cameron Welch
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Natural Materials Pancho Jiménez Nnenna Okore Cameron Welch April 10 – May 8, 2021 #naturalmaterialsexhibition #jenkinsjohsongallery #minnesotastreetproject @pancho_jimenez @nnennaokore @welch_cameron @jenkinsjohnsongallery @ minnesotastreetproject Cameron Welch, Hot Head, 2021, marble, glass, ceramic, oil, acrylic and spray enamel on panel in artist frame, 47.5 x 37.5 in. Jenkin Johnson Gallery, San Francisco, is pleased to present Natural Materials, a group exhibition featuring new works by Pancho Jiménez, Nnenna Okore and Cameron Welch. This exhibition explores three artists’ use of natural material and found objects in their practice. Each artist approaches materials differently creating a captivating discussion on materiality, texture, and shape. Jiménez rebuilds and recontextualizes found trinkets and objects. Okore weaves fibers and found material to create ethereal sculptures. Welch adds a contemporary perspective to traditional mosaic techniques with motifs and imagery found throughout history. Natural Materials opens Saturday, April 10, 2021 and will be on view through Saturday, May 8. The exhibition is by appointment only. Please visit our website to schedule a viewing. www.jenkinsjohnsongallery.com. Francisco (Pancho) Jiménez (lives and works in Santa Clara, CA) explores the elusiveness of dreams and memory. Joining together molded forms in unlikely combinations, Jiménez transforms kitsch elements into complex pieces with a rich and relevant focus. The juxtaposition of shapes in his sculptures may at first seem haphazard, but is intentionally crafted to mimic the illusiveness of memory as it advances and recedes over time. Jiménez holds an M.F.A. in Sculptural Ceramics from San Francisco State University, and his BA degree from Santa Clara University. He has exhibited extensively in the San Francisco Bay Area and nationally at universities, private galleries and civic spaces.

The exhibition runs from 7 January to 8 February, 2020. Osi Audu’s practice focuses on abstract art that retains some figurative elements in his geometric acrylic paintings in two colours and monochromatic grey and black drawings. Following the Yoruba concept of Ori Inu („the inner head“), his works - most of them displaying portraits of the self - draw attention to the artist‘s focus on the head as a signifier of consciousness and as an object of self-knowing. Audu received his BFA from the University of Ife (Nigeria) in 1980 and his MFA in Painting and Drawing from the University of Georgia in Athens (USA) in 1984. Kevin Demery‘s works explore the interplay between North American history and signifiers of power, developing a painterly language that invites us to move between the potent aesthetic of his work and recurring motifs of historical violence, surveillance and childhood trauma.

AKPANG FRSA : https://orcid.org/ 0000-0002-5510-4304 Cross River University of Technology, Calabar, Nigeria © The Author(s) 2021 ABSTRACT ARTICLE INFO Arguably Found Object genre represents the most dominant form of ARTICLE HISTORY contemporary artistic expression with unlimited possibilities of material exploration and conceptual ideation. However, Found Object discourse Received: institutionalized in European art history is exclusively western and dismisses 17 November , 2020 Accepted: those of other cultures as mimesis and time-lag. This paper aims to prove that the dominant contemporary discourse of „Recyla Art‟ which many African sculptors 8 February, 2021 Published: have been absorbed into, problematically blurs the conceptual and ideological 25 April, 2021 differences in European and African exploration of discarded objects in art Available online: creation. Using a triangulation of Formalism, Iconography and Interviews as 25 April, 2021 methodologies, this paper subjects the works of El Anatsui, Delumprizulike, Nnena Okore, Bright Eke, Olu Amonda and others to formalistic and interpretative analysis to establish the postcolonial context of the found object in contemporary African art. Findings demonstrate that European and African appropriation of discarded objects in art differs according to societal context in KEYWORDS form and content. The paper therefore concludes that found object art is culture- specific and defined by unique cultural ramifications, thus, to fully understand Found Object, Art, the dynamism of this art genre, a culture-specific or localized reading is required Culture, Ramifications, because the context of its emergence in Europe stands in contradiction to its Africa, Europe conceptualism in contemporary African art-space.

  • Spring Selections March 22 – May 12, 2018
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Jenkins Johnson Gallery Spring Selections March 22 – May 12, 2018 Omar Victor Diop, Sashakara, 2016, ink-jet Lalla Essaydi, Harem Revisited #50, 2013, print on Harman by Hahnemuhle paper, 35 chromogenic print, 60 x 48’’ 7/16 x 23 5/8’’ In celebration of Women’s History Month, Jenkins Johnson Gallery is pleased to announce Spring Selections, an exhibition of contemporary works by international artists contributing to the advancement of women's rights. Featuring works by Lalla Essaydi, Aida Muluneh, Nnenna Okore, Julia Fullerton-Batten, Wesaam Al-Badry, Blessing Ngobeni, Omar Victor Diop, Gordon Parks, Hendrik Kerstens, and Julian Opie, Spring Selections presents a dialogue on female injustices and the ways in which women mobilize resistance in the Middle East, South Africa, United Kingdom, and United States. With this exhibition, Jenkins Johnson Gallery joins in the commemoration and continued development of women’s rights with public institutions including the National Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution, National Endowment for the Humanities and more. Additional contemporary works by Ben Aronson and Scott Fraser will also be displayed as previews for Aronson’s and Fraser’s upcoming solo exhibitions occurring later this year. Despite hailing from different countries in the Middle East and North Africa region, Lalla Essaydi (b.1956, Marrakesh, Morocco) and Wesaam Al-Badry (b.1984, Nasiriyah, Iraq) both use photography to examine Western perceptions of Arab women. In her large-scale photographs that conjure up the reclining odalisques of nineteenth-century Orientalist paintings, Essaydi empowers her figures with defiant gazes that resist voyeurism and stereotypes of exoticism.
