About Mahanaim Gallery
Mahanaim Gallery is an international gallery specialising in contemporary African art. Founded by Bili — a curator and art advisor with over twenty-five years of cross-continental experience in fine art and luxury design — the gallery works directly with painters, photographers, and sculptors across the African continent, many showing internationally for the first time through Mahanaim.
The gallery serves private collectors, multinationals, embassies, and corporate collections across Africa, Europe, the Americas, and China. Each work is acquired or consigned on terms that respect the artist's practice and their long-term market.
