About Tahal Art
Our Story
A significant hub for Gambian contemporary art, promoting local artists and cultural exchange since our founding.
The Founder
Njogu Touray
Njogu Touray is a renowned Gambian artist whose work captures the essence of West African life, culture, and spirituality. With a distinctive style characterized by warm earth tones, bold compositions, and deep cultural narratives, his paintings have earned recognition both locally and internationally.
Born and raised in The Gambia, Njogu draws inspiration from the rich tapestry of Gambian life — from village scenes and traditional ceremonies to the vibrant colors of African textiles and the resilient spirit of its people.
Through Tahal Art, Njogu has created a space not just for his own work, but for the broader community of Gambian artists to showcase their talents and connect with art lovers from around the world
Celebrating Gambian Creativity
Tahal Art was founded with a clear mission: to create a vibrant space where Gambian contemporary art can thrive, where local artists can develop their craft, and where visitors can experience the rich cultural heritage of The Gambia.
Located in the Tropic Shopping Centre in Senegambia, we welcome art lovers, tourists, and collectors to explore our curated collection of paintings, sculptures, and mixed media works that capture the spirit of West African artistry.
