Ovico Gallery represents Chike Onuorah and serves a small group of considered private collectors.
Ovico Gallery is a private contemporary African art gallery in St Augustine, Florida, dedicated to the work of Nigerian painter Chike Onuorah. We are an online and by-appointment gallery, with a small team and a long view.
We place original work, host private collector evenings, and participate in selected cultural programming. We do not chase trends, and we do not push volume.
Original work, originally placed. We place real paintings into real homes and serious environments, never mass-market reproduction.
A patient timeline. We work on the artist’s pace and on the collector’s pace. We do not push.
A private register. Collector relationships remain confidential. Many of our most important conversations are not public.
Ovico is run by a small team. Each member participates in the collector relationship from first conversation through delivery.
