Tiemar Tegene

Tiemar Tegene received a BFA in printmaking from the Allé School of Fine Arts & Design, Addis Ababa. Tegene’s works are anchored in her training as a printmaker, expanding etching processes into practices of monoprinting through spontaneous experiments.

Tiemar aims to depict the true depth of human emotion. Channeling an intimate and complex response to the world around her, Tegene’s compositions are transmutations of her emotional experiences and the nature of her relationships with others. Inside these images live the details and echoes of larger stories, whether relayed in confidence by a friend, overheard on the street, or drawn from song lyrics or film. Consolidating ‘real’ details with flourishes of reference and imagination, her portraiture reaches for specific and consuming emotional moments that ripple through the body and space.

Tegene is currently living and working as a full time studio artist in Addis Ababa Ethiopia., Her work has been exhibited in Ethiopia at the National Museum of Ethiopia, Alliance Ethio-Francaise and at the Gebre Kristos Desta Centre, and internationally, at the Lithuanian National Museum of Art and James Fuentes Gallery, New York, She has featured in the group exhibitions Fictions, Circle Art Gallery, 2022 and Addis Contemporary II, Circle Art Gallery, 2021. Her first solo exhibition with Circle in 2023, invest Cape Town art fair, with Circle in 2024.
