Addis Fine Art

Addis Fine Art is a prominent African contemporary art gallery with a dual presence in London and Addis Ababa, founded in 2016 by Rakeb Sile and Mesai Haileleul. The gallery specializes in representing emerging and established international artists, with a particular focus on contemporary art from Ethiopia, the Horn of Africa, and its diasporas. This emphasis on regional art has allowed Addis Fine Art to play a significant role in introducing African artists to the international stage and contributing to the growth of the contemporary African art market.

The gallery's London location, one of the city's few Black and African-owned art galleries, has developed an international programme that highlights mid-career artists, thereby fostering a strong connection with the global art scene. On the other hand, the Addis Ababa gallery has evolved into a regional incubator for undiscovered talent, nurturing the careers of emerging artists and contributing to the burgeoning contemporary art scene in Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa.

Since its inception, Addis Fine Art has participated in numerous art fairs and exhibitions worldwide, further solidifying its position as a leading voice in the contemporary African art market.
