Michael Echekoba

I-54 African Art Fair Exhibitor · London

Michael Echekoba is one of the most significant voices in African contemporary art working in Britain today. His large-scale acrylic works explore identity, community, and the African diaspora experience in Britain — painted with a boldness that commands the room and a depth that rewards every return visit. His work has been exhibited at the Royal Commonwealth Club, Cabinet Office Whitehall, and Bernie Grant Arts Centre, and has sold for over £20,000 on Saatchi Art. He is an I-54 Contemporary African Art Fair exhibitor and has generously donated this entire collection to support neurodivergent young people in Tower Hamlets.
