These are the first paintings by Niankoye Lama, a contemporary African painter. His paintings depict the lives of African men and women in their villages and in everyday situations. The figures are vibrant and colorful, filled with the life and rhythm of Africa. Niankoye Lama is originally from Guinea.

Many African painters express themselves through paintings, canvases, and sculptures. Contemporary painting is a world of colorful and expressive creation. Contemporary and modern African art is not a single entity; it is diverse and varied. The notion of Africanness is important in the expression of African artists; indeed, should we speak of African artists or artists of Africa? Fo Koudjo is the first African artist whose works are presented in the gallery. The combination of African art and crafts with modern African painting allows us to present the past and present of African art. The gallery will present exhibitions of modern and contemporary African art, including photographs, artworks, objects, sculptures, paintings, and images representing all forms of African expression.

Contemporary African art reflects the vitality and diversity of inspirations of contemporary African artists. Ancient tribal societies blend with modern Africa, and sometimes even with the modern Western world, as some African artists live or have lived in Europe.
