Who we are
Strokes and Splinters is an art representation and sales agency dedicated to contemporary African artists whose work balances originality with enduring relevance. We operate at the intersection of African artistic practice and the global art market, guiding both artists and collectors through a considered, disciplined approach to placement and value.
Core Philosophy
We believe that contemporary African art is not a category apart, but an essential and evolving force within global artistic discourse. Meaningful artistic careers and thoughtful collections are built over time, through clarity of positioning, responsible placement, and long-term thinking.
Rather than operating as a traditional gallery or open marketplace, we work closely with a select group of African artists, representing their interests with discretion and strategic intent.
What makes us different
Focused African Representation
We specialise exclusively in contemporary African art, allowing for deep contextual understanding and responsible market positioning.
Discreet Placement
Sales are approached as placements — considered decisions that respect the artist’s trajectory and the collector’s intent.
Long-term Perspective
Every exhibition, sale, and collaboration is evaluated through the lens of durability, relevance, and value over time.
