PeakArt Gallery Presents East Meets West: A Love Story. Where the continent speaks with one voice, in many tongues.
There is a conversation happening across Africa that has been unfolding for centuries — carried in rhythm, colour, form, and gesture. It is the conversation between East and West, between the savannahs of Kenya and the coastlines of Ghana and Nigeria, between traditions that diverge in detail but converge in spirit.
This exhibition is not about opposition. It is not East versus West. It is a love story — a recognition that when artists from Nairobi and Accra, from Mombasa and Lagos, place their work side by side, what emerges is not contrast but kinship. A shared pulse that runs beneath the surface of very different visual languages.
The artists in this exhibition draw from profoundly different landscapes, histories, and artistic traditions. East Africa brings the sweeping drama of open plains, ancient trade routes, the influence of Swahili culture, and the modern energy of Nairobi's growing contemporary art scene. West Africa brings the dense urban vitality of Lagos, the deep-rooted artistic lineage of Ghana, the rhythms of the Atlantic coast, and centuries of cultural exchange that have shaped some of the continent's most recognisable visual traditions.
Yet within these differences lies something irreducible. A shared understanding of what it means to create in Africa. The negotiations between tradition and modernity. The tension between local identity and global ambition. The experience of being African artists in a world that has historically undervalued African creativity — and the refusal to accept that undervaluation.
East Meets West: A Love Story brings together seven artists — Kenyan and Ghanaian and Nigerian — not to flatten their differences, but to honour them. The works in this exhibition do not speak the same language. They are not supposed to. What they share is something richer: a set of preoccupations, a depth of feeling, and a commitment to telling African stories on African terms.
This is what the continent looks like when it speaks to itself. When East and West find each other not as opposites, but as kin. When the diversity of Africa's artistic expression becomes not a source of division, but of wonder.
We invite you to listen to this conversation — and to hear, in its many voices, a single, extraordinary love story.

Photographic Portraits of Jean-Michel Basquiat
Our exhibition of rare photographic portraits of the iconic artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, opened on 10 April, 2026.
The Basquiat photographs were taken by master portrait photographer Richard Corman, in New York, in 1984. At that time, Basquiat was just 24 years old, and well into his rise from New York graffiti artist to world renowned fine artist. Four years after these photographs were taken, the troubled Basquiat died of a heroin overdose, aged just 27 years old.
Richard Corman is globally recognized as a photographer who is able to capture the spirit and inner lives of his subjects. He has an incredible catalogue of photographs, including portraits of Mohammad Ali, Nelson Mandela, Mike Tyson, Michael Jordon and many more. Corman's photographs of Basquiat are nothing short of captivating, drawing the viewer into the unspoken life of the troubled, young genius.
The exhibition is ground-breaking in that this is the first time these amazing photographs have been shown or offered for sale in Africa.
Be prepared for an immersive journey into 1980s New York and the life and times of Jean-Michel Basquiat.
