African Bronze Art Carvings - African Artist
Sade Toure is a bronze caster in the Ivory Coast, in a village called Nangalako. His family has lived there for as long as he can remember, and all of them have been bronze casters, and other African Art. They pass down the tradition from generation to generation. Sade is a real artist, with a passion for creative designs in bronze work. Using the traditional lost-wax method, he is finding it harder and harder to find buyers for his traditional work. His traditional work is time consuming and most buyers simply want the lowest price they can get. We were happy to find one of the remaining lost-wax artists and love the opportunity to display the traditional, premium quality, bronze work that he creates. He is a family man, married with two children, a boy and a girl. Sade also works doing some farming in his nearby garden.
