Open the accordions below to learn about the artists with exhibits in 2025.
January and February - Essey Fitsum Weldeslassie |
Essey’s work has been deeply influenced by his experiences living as a refugee in Ethiopia for five years before moving to Canada. He talks about the concept of transition: focusing on the time spent waiting for change while in Ethiopia. He uses the metaphor of a tunnel in his paintings, to represent this period of transition. Unlike a bridge, which offers a clear view of the surroundings, a tunnel conveys a sense of isolation and uncertainty. |
