• Jean-Pierre Lookens
• Myrtha Hall

Whether it's traditional fare, like an art print, or abstract or contemporary art, their works arouse the consciousness. And, paradoxically, at the same time, they still your mind and soothe your soul.

Jean-Pierre Lookens

Lookens creates a near mystical experience with his works, drawing consciously and unconsciously on his deep African roots, his rich Haitian heritage and his acquired Quebec culture.

Lookens' contemporary works can be seen as a dance between the exodus and the exotic according to an anonymous writer...

"... Contemporary is primarily a historical notion meaning two things being in the same time frame. It's clear that not all contemporary productions belong to contemporary art."

"People have used the term in an ambiguous way since the 80s. All the art produced by living artists, though contemporary, isn't necessarily contemporary art ..."

Myrtha Hall

Myrtha Hall has been delighting African art lovers worldwide and for years with her authentic paintings. Let's visit with her.

Hello! Nadine here. I'm so pleased to introduce Myrtha Hall as one of our featured African artists. Those in the know have such great things to say about Myrtha...

"Her characters are like a sampling of the language of abstract painting, both scholarly and personal, not without a playful side."

"Her works represent a reinstatement of narrative content, sometimes close, of the great mythological painting, abstract expressionism and other contemporary movements."

"The vitality and energy of her paintings are such that many Internet users seek to obtain her paintings, because they have such appeal to our fertile imagination."

If you're ready for some sensory stimulation, spend some time with the African artist Myrtha Hall and view some samples of her works.
