A solo exhibition by Ethiopian artist Tesfaye Urgessa, coinciding with the artist’s representation at Ethiopia’s inaugural participation in La Biennale di Venezia.
Following his exhibition Prejudice and Belonging, the London presentation is an academic survey of his overall practice, including preliminary charcoal on paper sketches and large-scale oil paintings. The selection of work demonstrates the compositional development of Urgessa’s unique works and how the artist’s personal experience of prejudice has profoundly shaped his artistic practice.
