2014
A dynamic composition by Ethiopian artist Dawit Abebe, this acrylic and collage work on canvas layers richly textured surfaces with bold, gestural mark-making. Fragments of collaged material emerge beneath and alongside sweeping applications of paint, creating a visual dialogue between depth and flatness. The work reflects Abebe's signature exploration of identity and materiality, inviting the viewer to navigate its complex, interwoven surfaces.
