Exhibit: Through February 26th - “The Art of Tesfaye Tessema”
1978 Arts Center, 1978 Maplewood Avenue
Gallery Open on Saturdays and Sundays from 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm
A contemporary Ethiopian artist blending the sounds and visions of his African roots with his African American branches. Tesfaye Tessema has received accolades, achieved recognition, and earned respect for his work on a national and international level for decades. In addition to exhibiting at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, his work has been seen in France, Germany, England and Japan. Considered a master painter as well as a master print maker and muralist, his art has been collected by such institutions as the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian in Washington and the Schomberg and the United Nations in New York City. Born in Ethiopia, he has made Harlem his home for almost thirty years; his work reflects his love for his adopted community. The visual and aural associations of the African American culture reverberate in his paintings in the “Comb Series” featured in this exhibit. The confluence of rhythm, design and colors in a personal improvisational style are a reflection of the jazz music he loves. Like African American artists looking for their historical roots, Tesfaye revels in searching out his branches. “Together we form a Tree”
