Surafel Amare Bio
Born 1987, in South Gondar, Ethiopia.
Lives and works in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
In 2010, Amare graduated with a BFA from Addis Ababa University, Alle School of Fine Arts and Design in 2010 with BFA in Graphic Art commencing professional practice as artist with group exhibitions in East Africa (Ethiopia and Kenya) and a first solo exhibition in Ethiopia in 2015. Amare’s work aims to breathe life into the growing alienation of the world through growing mediation and reliance on the mechanical and the electronic. His ambition is to reveal the hidden in the obvious through astute observation of daily life and shift perceptions of reality. Temporality, the invisible layers of redundancy and rhythm are some of the consequent subjects that he is trying to address in his art works.
