African Art
Since 1992 he has sold art through African Arts and Crafts on Drummond Street, London NW1, which, in 2003, became African Kitchen Gallery also housing an award-winning restaurant (Trip-Advisor Hall of Fame 2015-19).
Akin decided to launch https://theafricanartcollection.uk as an online art catalogue in 2020 in order to share images of this exquisite collection with people from all over the world, and showcase the extraordinary talents of many African artists, most of whom have been purchased from directly. Akin has often travelled to far-flung places, such as Mbiti in Kenya, to pay a fair price to artists for their work.
This unique collection is now available to purchase and we have spent considerable time and resources building a website that showcases the inherent beatuty of the art while making the purchasing process as seamless and enjoyable as possible.
