Constance and Sons Gallery Artists Shine in Black History Month Collection on 1stDibs

In a remarkable celebration of artistic brilliance and cultural resonance, several artists represented by Constance and Sons Gallery have been handpicked to feature prominently in the Black History Month Collection on 1stDibs. This collaboration,
a partnership with United in Design and curated by the esteemed Alex Dauley, places Constance and Sons Gallery at the forefront of a curated showcase that not only honors Black History Month but also amplifies the diverse voices and narratives within African art.

Founded by the visionary Dunmade Ayegbayo, Constance and Sons Gallery has been a trailblazer in promoting contemporary African art. Ayegbayo’s belief that “If you claim to be a collector and your collection is missing African art, then your collection is incomplete” is not just a statement; but also a propelling guided principle toward
the globalization of African art.

The selected artists from Constance and Sons Gallery featured in the Black History Month Collection represent a tapestry of voices, styles, and stories that showcase the richness of African art. From vibrant paintings that evoke the spirit of the diaspora
to sculptures that tell tales of resilience and triumph, each piece is a testament to the diversity and creativity within the African art landscape.

The gallery’s presence in the Black History Month Collection is not just a recognition of individual artists but also a validation of Ayegbayo’s vision to create a space where African art is not just showcased but celebrated. The selected works speak to the resilience, beauty, and complexity of African experiences, fostering a deeper
understanding and appreciation for the continent’s artistic contributions.

As we explore this curated collection on 1stDibs, we encounter the works of these artists (Alawaye Tope, Akingbade Mayowa, Samson Olatubosun, Joshua Salami,

Hammed Olayanju, Iyiola Odunayo, Eyitayo Alagbe, Afolayan Emmanuel, Bakare Abubakri-sideeq Babatunde, Alogi John, and Mariam Olubunmi) from Constance and Sons Gallery, each piece telling a unique story. From the intricate details of a painting to the powerful symbolism in a sculpture, these artworks invite viewers to engage with the diverse narratives woven into the fabric of African art.

Dunmade Ayegbayo’s commitment to meritocracy is evident in the selection of artists and artworks that represent the gallery in the Black History Month Collection.

The gallery’s role in amplifying the voices of African artists on a platform like 1stDibs is a testament to its dedication to global visibility for African art.

As we celebrate Black History Month, let us not only honor the artists showcased in this remarkable collection but also recognize Constance and Sons Gallery for its pivotal role in bringing African art to the forefront of the global conversation. The gallery’s journey, guided by Dunmade’s vision, continues to enrich the cultural
landscape, proving that African art is not just an addition to a collection but an essential and vibrant part of the global artistic narrative.
