Annan Affotey is a Ghanaian-born, Oxford-based artist whose richly textured portraits navigate the complexities of Black identity, emotion, and cultural memory. His figures, defined by vibrant dark skin tones and piercing red eyes, inhabit quiet, contemplative spaces that allow their stories to emerge without interruption. Affotey’s work is shaped by his experience living in Ghana, Europe, and the United States, and by the influence of powerful women in his life. A graduate of the Ghanatta College of Art and Design, he is also the founder of the African Young Artist Organization (AYAO), which supports emerging African creatives. Affotey’s portraits elevate everyday presence into something sacred, intimate, and defiantly seen.

Popcorn and cascade bidding:
If a bid is placed during the last 1 minute of the auction, the closing time will be automatically extended for an additional 1 minute from the time the last bid was placed. The item will close once all bidding activity has stopped. This is recommended for high-value and popular items. Popcorn bidding prevents bidders from waiting until the last minute to bid without giving the bidders who were outbid an opportunity to rebid.
Cascade bidding ensures auction lots close at staggering times, one after another. For example, the first lot of an auction might close at 12:01pm, the second lot would close at 12:02pm, then the third lot at 12:03pm, etc.
