Africa Canvas Art and Wall Decor

Africa Canvas Art and Wall Decor

Africa canvas art here means the continent through its places: lake scenes from Lake Malawi to Lake Retba, desert scenes from Namibia and Morocco, Mount Kilimanjaro at sunset, city skylines, country maps and savanna silhouettes of elephants and giraffes. Every piece is printed to order, and many titles name the lake, mountain or country they show.

Choose African Wall Decor By The Place In The Title

Start with the place named in the title, because this collection covers lakes, deserts, mountains, cities and maps rather than one style. If one country or lake matters to you, find that name first, then settle shape and size for the wall. Lake Malawi, Namibia and Nairobi each have their own pieces below.

African Lake Scenes From Lake Malawi To Lake Retba

Lakes carry many of the titles here, among them Lake Malawi Sailboats at Sunset, Boat at Lake Malawi Sunset, Wooden Boats on Lake Retba, Lake Victoria at Dusk, Lake Kivu Shoreline and Lake Nyos Cliff View. A boat on the water gives a hallway or a dining room wall a clear focal point. For lakes from around the world, see the lake wall art collection, and for Senegal's Lake Retba on its own, the Senegal Lake Retba wall art collection.

Desert Scenes From Namibia And Morocco

Two countries share the desert pieces. Red Canyon, Namibia Desert and Damaraland Desert Landscape are Namibian scenes, while Merzouga Sand Dunes, Morocco Stone Desert and Morocco Sahara Caravan are Moroccan ones, and Golden Hour Desert Dunes names no country at all. Merzouga Sand Dunes, Damaraland Desert Landscape and Morocco Stone Desert come in the panoramic shape, a natural choice for a long low wall above a bench. More Namibian scenery sits in the Namibia desert wall art collection.

East Africa Pieces: Kilimanjaro, Lake Natron And Amboseli

East Africa has a cluster of its own, including Mount Kilimanjaro Sunset and Mount Kilimanjaro Landscape. Lake Natron Reflection and Lake Natron Flamingos sit beside Serengeti Sunset Silhouette and Lake Nakuru Overlook, so one wall can carry a mountain and a lake from the same region. For more of Tanzania, see the Kilimanjaro and Lake Natron art collection.

Baobab, Acacia And Gnarled Tree Scenes

Several pieces make a tree the subject: Baobab Sunset Silhouette, Acacia and Baobab Trees and Gnarled Tree at African Sunset. Hang one in a study or living room when you want the landscape without an animal in the title. For elephants, giraffes and wildebeest by name, the safari sunset wall art collection carries them.

Large African Wall Art For A Living Room

A piece should cover about two thirds to three quarters of the furniture's width. Above a 78 inch sofa, Mount Kilimanjaro Sunset at 54 x 36 inches spans 69% of the width. Above a 66 inch console, a 48 x 16 inch Merzouga Sand Dunes spans 73%, so it sits centered with about 9 inches of console showing on each side.

Country And Continent Maps Of Africa

Maps cover single countries and the whole continent. Senegal Map with Flag and Equatorial Guinea Map each take one country, while Colorful Africa Political Map and Color Coded Africa Map take the continent. A map sits well beside a bookshelf in a study or at the end of a hallway. For city, state and world maps from elsewhere, the city and country map art collection is the place to look.

Skylines, Waterfalls And Ruins Beyond The Landscapes

Beyond lakes and deserts, the collection includes cities, falls and ruins. Nairobi Skyline and Luanda Skyline at Dusk show cities, a clear choice for an office or study wall. Kalandula Falls and Grazing Donkeys and Maletsunyane Falls with Torch Lilies show falling water, and Timgad Ruins, Arch of Trajan shows ruins in Algeria. Hang one of them beside a landscape to vary the subject along a hallway.

How Each Piece Is Made

A Lake Retba aerial or a Kilimanjaro sunset is printed after you place the order, not before. Canvas prints use museum-quality canvas and archival inks over a solid wooden inner frame, and canvas and framed pieces arrive ready to hang. Shipping is free, delivery takes 8 to 10 business days from the day you order, and returns are open for 30 days from delivery.

Common Questions

Is there modern African wall art in this collection?

Yes, in graphic styles. Ethiopia Low-poly Map is drawn in flat geometric facets, and Typographic Africa Map with Country Names sets the country names in type across the continent. Hang one on a plain wall so it stands alone, with nothing else beside it to compete for attention in the room.

Which African wall art goes in a bedroom?

Hazy Savannah at Dawn is a good place to begin. Over a 70 inch wide bed, a 48 x 16 inch panoramic spans 69% of the width. Center it on the bed and leave the wall around it bare, so a single panoramic picture does the work.

What size is large African canvas wall art?

Large African canvas wall art here runs up to 60 x 40 inches in the landscape shape and 60 x 20 inches in the panoramic shape. Center it 57 to 60 inches from the floor on an open wall, and leave 6 to 8 inches above a sofa, sideboard or console. Mark the center point in pencil and check it with a level before the first nail goes in.

Is there traditional African wall art here?

Not in the sense of carved masks or woven cloth, since the pieces here are pictures of places, animals and maps. Two titles show huts, Ndbele Tribe Hut and Thatched Huts in Chad, and Pirogue at Golden Dusk shows a boat. Those are the pieces to look at if huts and boats interest you more than wildlife.

Is there Africa continent wall art besides maps?

Yes. Glowing Africa Globe shows the whole continent on a globe. East Africa Great Lakes from Space narrows to one region. Hang the globe on a study wall where a map would otherwise go. Choose the globe over a flat map when you want the continent shown as a rounded form, and choose the map when you want borders and country shapes.
