Alexander Tadesse, a dynamic voice in African art, unveils his latest body of work Together in Time at Christine X Art Gallery in Sliema, an evocative visual narrative that celebrates the enduring beauty of human connection. The exhibition invites audiences to experience the warmth, complexity, and continuity of communal bonds through a rich palette of colour, form, and memory.

Born in 1983 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Tadesse is a graduate of the Alle School of Fine Arts and Design at the University of Addis Ababa. He later specialized in painting at the Entoto Polytechnic College of Fine Arts. His multidisciplinary practice includes painting, graphic design, and cartoon animation, allowing him to traverse mediums with a unique and expressive voice. Influenced by his life in Africa and his travels around the world, Tadesse draws deeply from the cultural, religious, and linguistic diversity he encounters. His art reflects the harmony within this diversity, portraying the vivid interconnectivity of humanity. Each piece in Together in Time serves as a visual embrace - alive with movement and saturated with emotion - evoking both fleeting moments and eternal truths. Tadesse's career includes numerous group exhibitions such as those at Alliance Ethio-Française (2019), Laphto Art Gallery (2019), Kampala Art Biennial, Uganda (2014), Afri Art Gallery, Uganda, Capital Hotel and Spa, Addis Ababa (Chella Launch, 2014). He has also held solo exhibitions at Guramayne Art Center (2016) and at The National Museum of Ethiopia (2014).

In Together in Time, Tadesse reflects on shared stories, subtle gestures, and everyday rhythms, where past and present converge. The work calls viewers to pause and recognize the emotional landscapes we inhabit together. "Together in Time is more than an exhibition," says Tadesse. "It is an invitation - to remember, to reflect, and to cherish the beauty of being together." This exhibition is a testament to Alexander Tadesse's evolving artistry and his commitment to exploring the universal language of connection. His work reminds us that in a rapidly changing world, the essence of togetherness remains timeless. Join us between 9 and 30 October at Christine X Art Gallery, opening Tuesday to Saturday 10am-1pm and 4-7pm.
