Alliance Ethio-Française: Endale Desalegn Exhibition - 18.05.15 - 01.06.15
The Alliance Ethio-Française cordially invites you to the opening of the art exhibition Endale Desalegn.
Endale Desalegn is an Ethiopian based in Addis Ababa where he studied at the Addis Ababa University School of Fine Art and Design and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in painting in 2008. He has had solo exhibitions in Ethiopia, Portugal and now in South Africa and has also participated in various group shows.
Endale works with oil and acrylic on canvas, often morphing the meaning of a painting as he responds to changes within his environment. His paintings are rich and dark, built up with layers of paint into exceptionally tactile objects, which combine texts and symbols in a meditative practice. Endale’s work is influenced by the rich culture of his home country, in which a strong sense of mythology is layered with everyday experience.
