Shiri Achu 10th Anniversary Art Exhibition – The 40th Act! – a Africa interest event taking place on 2019-08-10 10:00:00 in United Kingdom
International award-winning artist, Shiri Achu returns to London, with her 10th Anniversary exhibition, The 40th Act! Born in Cameroon, West Africa, Shiri Achu and her family immigrated to London when she was a child where she found her passion for art and started painting at a tender age of 9 years old. Today she actively paints and exhibits around the world and has studios in Cameroon, the UK and in the USA, where she is currently based. Her preferred mediums are acrylics and mixed media. One of the aims of Shiri Achu Art is to showcase and promote African culture worldwide. Shiri finds beauty in the woman carrying her child on her back and going her way. She finds beauty in the old lady who makes her ‘atchu’ in her dark, smoky outdoor kitchen for her grandchildren. She finds beauty in the African fabrics. She finds beauty, envy even, in the young girl climbing the tree! As such, she paints these images. Shiri’s paintings reflect the beautiful simplicity of Africa and she offers this to the world to promote, enlighten and increase understanding of the culture and the people. Ten years ago, Shiri’s first solo exhibition, The 30th Act, held at St Augustine's tower in Hackney was a grand success. She has since been invited to exhibit, to speak and to educate at various places, events and cities around the world. Some of these include, The Commonwealth Secretariat, The Houses of Parliament, The Olympic African Village in London, art seminars and networking speaking events in Washington DC and Delaware. Travels with her art have included Chiang Mai, Lisbon, Toronto, Barcelona, Douala, Adelaide, Kingston and Toronto to name but a few. Ten years later, full circle, Shiri Achu is thrilled to return to London and exhibit once more, where it all began, with her 10th anniversary exhibition, The 40th Act!
