About Eye on Africa
Welcome to Eye on Africa, a boutique art gallery located in the beautiful Sunshine Coast of Queensland, Australia. This gallery is dedicated to promoting and showcasing the diverse artistic talents of African and African diaspora artists. Eye on Africa aims to bridge the cultural gap by providing a platform where art enthusiasts and collectors can discover unique pieces that highlight the rich heritage and contemporary expressions of African art.
The gallery features a variety of styles, including traditional and modern interpretations, which range from vibrant paintings and intricate sculptures to textiles and photography. Notable artists represented in our collection include renowned figures like El Anatsui, whose innovative sculptures made from repurposed materials challenge conventional boundaries of form and culture, and Yinka Shonibare, famous for his explorations of colonialism and identity through his iconic fabric-covered figures.
Since its founding in 2021 by Australian art curator John Doe, Eye on Africa has become a beacon for cultural education and appreciation. The gallery's mission is to create a dialogue about African culture through art, inviting a diverse audience, including art collectors, students, academics, and the general public to engage with the work.
As a hub for African art in Australia, Eye on Africa is known for its impactful exhibitions and events that promote cultural exchange. We encourage visitors to participate in workshops, artist talks, and community engagements that foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of African art and its narratives.
Join us at Eye on Africa to explore the beauty and complexity of African art as we continue to celebrate the creativity that emerges from this vibrant continent.
