Africa On The Floor is an introduction to modernafricanart's collection of art rugs, designed by contemporary African artists Bruce Onobrakpeya, Sam Ovraiti, Nike Okundaye, Muraina Oyelami, Tola Wewe and Ehi Obinyan. Gallery owner Lande Anjous-Zygmunt's intention to create a new medium and voice for her artists has certainly been achieved.

The owner of Swedish gallery modernafricanart, Lande Anjous-Zygmunt was looking for a way to bring the African artists Bruce Onobrakpeya, Muraina Oyelami, Nike Davies Okundaye, Ehi Obinyan, Sam Ovraiti and Tola Wewe to a new audience. What she found was a way to deconstruct the categories of art and design and to celebrate traditional art in a most contemporary form; the art rug. This is a collection that fits neatly into the artistic heritages of three continents, African, Asian and European, even while it transcends definition.With 64 pages and over 30 full-colour photographs and illustrations, Africa on the Floor -The Exhibition Catalogue not only presents and documents modernafricanart's collection of art rugs but also deconstructs the wall between art and design.
