Art Formes is the first African gallery purely dedicated to contemporary African sculpture, showcasing previously marginalised mediums that have been a rich source of undocumented artistic expression on the African continent.
Founded in 2021 by Sorbonne-trained art historian Olivia Barrell as both gallery and publishing house, Art Formes published its inaugural volume two years later, CLAY FORMES, on clay and ceramics within contemporary South African art. As a result, Art Formes has emerged as the pioneering voice on contemporary African clay, spearheading a growing appreciation for this sculptural medium and paving the way for the launch of their permanent gallery, now open at The Old Biscuit Mill in Woodstock.
