Diaspora Fine Art, in collaboration with Dean Street Gallery, proudly presents the U.S. premiere of Ghanaian master artist Jewel Teiko Eklu's complete collection. This groundbreaking exhibition marks a significant moment in contemporary African art's presence in the American market.

In this ambitious series, Eklu masterfully weaves together elements of chance, destiny, and human aspiration through his distinctive visual vocabulary. His large-scale canvases create a profound dialogue between West African storytelling traditions and contemporary global narratives, exploring the intersection of fate and human agency.

Each piece in this meticulously curated collection demonstrates Eklu's exceptional technical prowess and conceptual depth. His paintings layer complex symbolism—from traditional African motifs to contemporary gambling imagery—creating rich, multifaceted works that reward prolonged contemplation. The artist's unique approach to figuration and his sophisticated use of color and composition position him at the forefront of contemporary African painting.

The exhibition features several previously unseen works, offering collectors a rare opportunity to acquire pieces from this important emerging voice in international contemporary art.

Private viewings available by appointment.

For inquiries regarding acquisitions, please contact the gallery.
