Addis Fine Art will be exhibiting at Untitled Miami for the second time, where we will be showcasing new works by figurative painter Nigatu Tsehay.
For Nigatu, art is a fundamentally interrogative process. While it may not always yield definitive answers, painting allows him to grapple with important questions and to employ his own visual language as a means of reflection and communication.
Rich with human form, Nigatu likens his canvases to a suddenly paused film scene – an instant in time bearing the weight of existence. His works are replete with distorted characters who frequently gaze in disparate directions, hands and feet punctuating a forested twist of limbs.
It is through capturing these specific moments that Nigatu seeks to explore universal themes of existence and human experience, blending the precise with the abstract to create surrealistic realms which invite his audience to participate in the essential act of inquiry.
