We collect art and rare books and executive produce music. Our private art collection — which includes decades-old artefacts from around the African continent — and repertoire, reflect the almost poetic nature of our practice; a unique identity deeply rooted in the diverse sophistry of authentic African culture. To a large extent, art plays a role in the instruction of members of our family office — and serves to instill philosophical precepts. Our artworks and library are ready to view by appointment.
We provide comprehensive services to private art collectors, foundations and trusts. Our value lies in combining in-house expertise with a trusted network of specialists. We have an independent position and our approach considers the life of a collection, from acquisitions to ownership to dispersal. Our hands-on approach gives us a thorough understanding of our clients’ collections: we know the size, weight and condition of each piece, which enables us to provide informed and accurate advice. The value of collections under management are an estimated £250k.

In Life is a Fight, Kɔsi Gobah transforms the familiar image of a boxer into a universal meditation on resilience. Standing alone in a defensive stance, the figure confronts neither a visible opponent nor a defined arena. Instead, he occupies an ambiguous space where the struggle becomes inward as much as physical.
Executed with a restrained palette of monochrome greys, the painting draws the eye towards the brilliant golden boxing gloves — the only emphatic burst of colour in the composition. They become symbols of perseverance, courage and the enduring resolve to continue despite uncertainty. The absence of narrative detail allows the viewer to project their own experiences onto the figure, making the work both deeply personal and universally recognisable.
Gobah’s careful modelling of the body demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of anatomy, while the direct gaze of the boxer establishes an immediate psychological connection with the viewer. There is no triumph or defeat here; only readiness. The painting speaks to the quiet discipline required to confront life’s daily contests, whether personal, social or existential.
Monumental in scale yet intimate in emotion, Life is a Fight exemplifies a new generation of Ghanaian figurative painting that privileges emotional truth over spectacle. It is a work that rewards sustained contemplation, reminding us that resilience is often defined not by victory, but by the willingness to remain standing.

Ayisoba is a monumental figurative painting that honours the richness of African cultural heritage through the image of a masquerade. Rendered in richly textured oil paint, the work combines intricate depictions of raffia and ceremonial regalia with a restrained palette of earth tones, set against a deep green background enlivened by subtle gold accents.
Blending tradition with contemporary expression, Seyon presents the masquerade as a powerful symbol of identity, resilience and ancestral memory. Both visually striking and emotionally evocative, Ayisoba is a compelling example of contemporary Ghanaian art, distinguished by its commanding presence and exceptional craftsmanship.

The fragmented face evokes the layered nature of memory, while the guitar becomes a timeless symbol of storytelling and shared experience.
Blending contemporary expression with African symbolism, the work reflects the enduring power of music to preserve tradition, connect generations and shape collective identity. Bold in colour and rich in texture, Strings of Memory is a distinctive example of contemporary Ghanaian mixed-media painting.
