Jean-Patrick Guichard is a long-time collector of African art, he is at his Fairburn home, and plans a gallery opening in metro Atlanta in 2018. This painting is what inspired him to start a gallery. He purchased the piece at a Sengal art community and the artist started asking when Guichard was going to have a show in the US for them, rather than just buying a painting here and there. Guichard was born in New York and raised in West Africa and has pieces passed down from his mother as well as an expansive set of paintings, sculpture, ceremonial masks and artifacts he has secured through years of searching. Many of the works are early works of now prolific and well known artists. Guichard begins relationship at art school and art communities in Africa. (Jenni Girtman / Atlanta Event Photography)
