Influenced by the events of the Arab Spring, the artist, who was born in 1970 in Addis - Ababa and works in New York, has again filled huge canvases with skeins upon skeins of architectural plans, city maps, darting lines and free - flowing, undulating attacks of ink that are more powerful than ever, abstractly
suggesting wild rivers, treacherous mountains and bombed - out landscapes.
If you ever want to experience a deep forest with
wild rivers and secret caverns, without even leaving home, I
suggest you take a trip to the Amazon.
