Tesfaye Urgessa

Saatchi Yates is delighted to present a powerful solo exhibition of new paintings by contemporary Ethiopian artist Tesfaye Urgessa at the gallery’s temporary space in the heart of Miami’s Design District.

Recognised for his unique intertwined subject matter that recalls representations of race and the politics of identity, Urgessa’s new body of work will see him dive deeper into this subject with 15 new paintings marking some of his largest works to date.

Urgessa’s show is housed at Saatchi Yates’ temporary gallery space next to the Institute of Contemporary Art and De La Cruz Collection. The show coincides with the artists’ presentation at the Rubell Museum, Miami.
