Connections Through Art – Ethiopian Art, curated by Elsabet Mesfin
During March, we are pleased to exhibit Connections Through Art, a collection of Ethiopian paintings, curated by Elsabet Mesfin. We look forward to seeing you at the Opening Reception on Sunday, March 6 from 12 noon to 1:30 pm. The exhibit will run through the month of March.
Elsabet Mesfin was born and raised in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and now resides in Los Angeles. In 2011, Mesfin returned to Ethiopia to reconnect with family and friends. The journey became transformative as she discovered a rich source of Ethiopian creative expression in the paintings of university art students and local artists. These works were so inspirational for her that she became committed to creating international exposure for these talented artists. Mesfin returned to Los Angeles, with a number of original paintings to showcase here in the States. A portion of all sales go directly to the artists.
Elsabet Mesfin created Connections Through Art to help further promote Ethiopian artists. The March art wall exhibit expresses the lifestyle and natural beauty of Ethiopia. The images show both traditional and modern scenes. Artistically, several different styles of composition are represented including Realism, Impressionism, Cubism, Portraiture and Abstract Modernism.
The works of eight different artists are displayed in the show: Yohannes Bayu, Haile Gabriel, Samuel Hailu, Aman G. Medhin, Berhanu Misganaw, Nahosenay Negussie, Negatu Solomon and Tesfa Solomon. Individual biographies of each artist can be read on www.ConnectionsThroughArt. com.
Most of them have studied at the Alle School of Arts at the University of Addis Ababa, and many come from families who have a long tradition of artistic expression.
Contact Nancy for more information or weekday appointments at assistant@uusm.org or (310) 829-5436 ext. 102.
