Addis Fine Art and Vigo Gallery are pleased to present a solo exhibition of paintings by Tadesse Mesfin (b. 1953). Featuring works on canvas from the last four years, the presentation takes place across Addis Fine Art, Addis Ababa (15 September – 30 November, 2024) and Vigo Gallery, London (20 September – 4 October, 2024).
This series of Tadesse’s work celebrates the women vendors who work in markets across Ethiopia. Typically overlooked by society, Tadesse elevates their stature in his paintings. Capturing them in moments of contemplative stillness, he celebrates their essential role as the pillars of daily life.
