Fine Art For Fine People

Sallah Horseman in Zaria, Nigeria.

Vintage Reproductions 

These prints reflect ideas and experiences that emerged from the artist’s time abroad and the transition that followed. They were produced in 1988 and experience only a very limited distribution 

This section presents a collection of vintage prints created shortly after the artist returned to the United States from living and working in Nigeria in 1987. In this context, vintage prints refer to impressions produced during the original period of the work rather than prints made many years later. Each image was originally produced as a limited edition of 500 prints. The original drawings for these works were created in Zaria, Nigeria, and later transported to the United States where the prints were produced in Akron shortly after the artist’s return. These prints reflect ideas and experiences that emerged from the artist’s time abroad and the transition that followed. As works from an earlier stage in the development of the work, they offer collectors an opportunity to acquire images that connect directly to an important moment in the artist’s creative journey.

Vintage Reproduction prints are produced on premium photographic paper to preserve the character and appearance of the original editions.

Every print is individually inspected and hand-signed by the artist before shipping.

Drawing From the Lifeline carries two meanings—it speaks of drawing inspiration from the African homeland and drawing strength from ancestral history. The works link past and present, stitching memory and identity together through portrait and gesture. I merge charcoal and collage to embody both continuity and fragmentation, capturing how we inherit survival and transformation through blood, spirit, and imagination. These pieces are acts of remembrance—drawing from the lifeline to keep it alive.
