The inaugural launch of BLACK COPPER Market features six groundbreaking artists whose practices reflect power, poetry, and perspective. From bold abstraction to intimate portraiture, this curated collection includes works by Steven Baboun, Akindele John, Jade Strong, Pierre Jean-Baptiste, Aghogho Otega, and Chu. Each piece offers a distinct visual language—inviting viewers to connect, collect, and champion a new generation of visionary creators.

Why Collect

Art should feel as personal to collect as it is to make.
We spotlight contemporary artists whose work carries memory and moves culture forward.
This is collecting as care, as connection, as practice.
