Biography

Ephrem Solomon was born in 1983 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia where he lives and works. He creates inquisitive works using wood cut panels and mixed media based on his socio-political observations of contemporary Addis Ababa. Trained in traditional printmaking, Solomon uses the carved marks to make constructed portraits informed by the people who inhabit the spaces around him, creating figures that can be recognised, but are also invisible in society. In his words, “I am inspired by many different things, by the past, the present and what may happen in the future.”
