We finally did visit Mr. Akainyah at his gallery several months ago, we learned that he suffered a stroke in 2010 but he is recovering well. He has been a friend for many years but even still it is difficult to get in touch with him and difficult pin down when attempting to acquire his work. I wish I had done so when we were all friends in Chicago 30 years ago, struggling students, when Sam's career as an artist was just beginning. I'm afraid I missed a window of opportunity. If you have any of his work for sale please contact me. Thanks. rmheller@ameritech.net

He is very talented. I,however,think that he is a MUCH better artist than he is a teacher. I took a class with him once and was MISERABLY disappointed. I could go on, but I won't.

This guy swindled my father out of $1,000. He commissioned Akainyah for one piece, paid the artist and has not received the work, and has not received a reply to his phone calls or other attempts to contact him. I would caution you from giving any moeny to this man before services rendered. BEWARE.

Samuel Akainyah is a remarkable artist. I own a few pieces and have encouraged others to buy his works in Atlanta. His art speaks like poetry. I have been trying to find "Sudden emotion" without luck. His talented is captivating as is he as he expresses the feelings that he reflects on the canvas.

My experience with Mr. Akainyah is definitely a memorable one, I had been searching for his work for approx. 2yrs, and my search was not in vain. A friend of mine who lives in Chicago was able to locate a phone number for me, and I never stop trying to reach him, until one day I called and he answered to phone. I was so elated that I finally got a chance to speak to Mr. Akainyah, I felt as though we had been friends for many years. As a result of that phone call I purchased several of his pieces. "The Tribute'', "From Whence We Came'', "Love'', & "Sisters''. I have however since that conversation been trying to get "Bequeating The Nation'', has anybody seen that piece? It is so.... deep. The man is so divinely talented. Mr. Akainyah is a very busy man, and highly admired by many. The last information I recieved was that he teaches at one of the Universities in Chicago. So, don't give up on trying to locate him, I haven't, he is worth the search.
