TEGENE KUNBI
DRIPPING TIME, FADING MEMORY

 

 

This retrospective catalog presents a comprehensive exploration of the work of Ethiopian artist Tegene Kunbi, with a particular focus on his 2025 solo exhibition "Dripping Time, Fading Memory" held at Primo Marella Gallery, Milan. Alongside a rich visual archive that traces his artistic evolution, the publication delves into Kunbi’s unique engagement with memory, time, and the profound connection to his Ethiopian heritage.
Drawing inspiration from his cultural roots, Kunbi creates a dynamic and visceral visual language, where color and texture become not only a means of expression but also a form of spiritual dialogue. His works embody a celebration of life, history, and identity, while confronting the complexities of cultural memory and personal experience. Through bold, organic brushstrokes and a deep resonance with his native landscapes, Kunbi’s art transcends mere representation, offering a powerful reflection on the continuous interplay between time, memory, and the earth itself.
(The book is both in Italian and English)
