African Art Inspires All

African art has influenced artists across the globe and there is no better way to see these similarities than at The Elijah Pierce Gallery at Columbus, Ohio’s The King Arts Complex. From Tuesday, January 12th through the end of the month, the gallery will be featuring “African Art Influence: Global Impacts & Similarities.”

Sponsored by The Wohlgemuth Herschede Foundation, the exhibition will display artwork from a myriad of diverse countries from around the world. The concept is to show the cross-cultural influences in decorative style from African art in the creations of pieces from Asia to Latin America.

According to the gallery’s description of the exhibit: “The art… gives the viewer a glimpse into similar comparisons found in technique and design using motifs and pattern ideas… There are similarities in texture and style and thus, is a celebration of our interconnectedness and an acknowledgement of how much alike we all truly are!”

Jacaranda Tribal loves the notion! For more information, call 614-645-5464 or visit www.thekingartscomplex.com.
