Please enjoy this short article on Sacha Jafri written by Kerry Hall here at Quastel Associates;
After recently valuing an artwork by the world leading 'Magical Realist' painter and increasingly in demand British artist Sacha Jafri, we were encouraged to investigate this exciting young painter as he continues to take the art world by storm.
It is not every day you come across a living and working artist who's artworks have sold for as high as nearly £3 million and at the young age of 42 years old, this is especially incredible. Sacha Jafri is this artist and his large scale, high energy and colourful abstracts have been grabbing the attention of some of the world’s biggest names. Barack Obama, George Clooney, Bill Gates, Madonna and Leonardo DiCaprio are just some of the famous names to have purchased his paintings. He certainly appears to be hanging out in the right circles and rubbing shoulders with the right people.
However, there is another side to Sacha Jafri. Not only has he won the ‘British Painters Prize’, been awarded ‘Young Artist of the Year’ in New York and offered a museum-based 10 year Retrospective World Tour (making him the youngest artist in history to achieve this) but he’s also been recognised for his humanitarian work. A generous 10-20% of his takings are donated to charity making his current total of charity donations well into the tens of millions. The charities he donates to are focused on the welfare of children; those with mental health issues or special needs and orphaned refugees.
It was in fact at a charity auction that our client purchased his Jafri painting. Not only did our client make a generous donation to charity but he also ended up with a very sound investment. The painting has now been valued at over ten times what it was purchased for. Jafri does not have an agent or dealer and likes to be the person who handles his works and so he delivered the piece to our clients house himself. Jafri’s reputation would not have been as high profile as it has become in recent years however that is still a wonderful way to receive your new painting.
