One of the major established artists of African heritage living in America; the Ethiopian-born artist Wosene has distinguished himself as being the first contemporary artist to use the script forms of his native Amharic language as a core motif in his paintings and sculptures. Recalling that writing is the basis of civilization and is, in fact, embedded with social existence across space and time; Wosene seeks to engender new forms, histories, and intentions.
