Yiran African Arts
Aims at enriching the mind and the community through the diverse beauty of (symbolic) African Arts.
Our mission is to connect with the community by sharing Fred’s art work. We hope to offer our patrons a way of expanding their knowledge and understanding of African arts and cultures.
Fred Yiran used all art forms to express his art. He moved freely from painting, carving, sculpting, storytelling and music.
However, his first real love was painting, and it has been the backbone of his work throughout the years.
