AFRIKart grew out of passion and enthusiasm for contemporary African art. "The idea for the business emerged from a series of management workshops run in Ghana and through a chance encounter with a well-known Ghanaian painter, Larry Otoo." Since the creation of AFRIKart, Kwame Akuffo has been committed to bringing to Europe and sharing great art from East and West Africa. "We have a minimum of 150 original paintings in storage at any one time." Mr Akuffo said. Artists for this exhibition utilise a wide range of media, bringing local aesthetics together with international artistic debates and practice. Themes for Diverse Colours II filter the global exchange through local channels, bringing local aesthetics to bear upon broader international artistic debates and practices.
