Fragments and Fractions I, Mixed media on canvas, 28.5 cm x 25.6 cm, 2024
Teklemariam Mohammed (b. 2002, Ethiopia) is a mixed-media artist transforming urban decay into meditations on memory and identity. Based in Addis Ababa, his found-material assemblages honed from Palette Art Studio to Addis Ababa Art School (BFA), Addis Ababa University. His 2024 Harmony Palette exhibition (Aurora Art Gallery) revealed beauty in rupture, bridging material transformation with human stories. Through weathered surfaces and cultural fragments, he explores preservation, erasure, and the poetry of urban change.
