AFA Gallery, New York

AFA Gallery offers a unique collection of original paintings, drawings, prints and sculpture from established and emerging artists.  The collective works are characterized by their figurative technique and technical virtuosity, rooted in the history and traditions of illustration and expressionism.

The story begins with a gallery called Animazing, specializing in conceptual animation art and cartoon expressionism. After the emergence of CGI (computer-generated imagery), traditional animation art ceased to exist and the gallery evolved to exhibit “fine art that is fun”.  

In keeping with its natural momentum, the gallery’s artistic evolution continued and shifted its focus to original illustration art by American contemporary masters. In 2012, its SoHo branch re-branded as AFA Gallery (Animazing Fine Art). A more sophisticated gallery emerged, one that focused on living contemporary surrealists whose work was edgy and masterful.  

AFA will continue its push forward with a new vision for the future dedicated to presenting compelling programming both in the US and internationally. The new work will focus on emerging and established artists working across diverse artistic disciplines.
