I’m back with more girly art for that ass! No literally. I got drawings of girls . Femininity is amazing and I love drawing things that express it. These are pretty old but I think they still hold up. I wanna do more with more variety and body diversity in the future. #blackFedi #mastoArt #girl #artgirl #blackart #africanart #commissionsOpen

By Ephrem Solomon, born in 1983 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: “Earth Series: 20,” woodcut and mixed media, 85 x 97 cm (33.5 x 38.25 inches), Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery. #art #africa #africanart #ethiopia #ethiopianart #printmaking From Artsy: ‘Ephrem Solomon draws on woodcutting’s history as a medium tied to 20th-century politics. His works feature figures or objects—often domestic ones such as empty chairs—rendered in solid fields of color and employed as allegories for contemporary life in Ethiopia. Solomon tends to depict these subjects in isolation to suggest the feeling of alienation. Although the images have a timeless quality, he collages scraps of newspaper to the prints to inject them with markers of contemporary life. “My works portrays the distance between what the governed people need and want and what the response is from the governors,” the artist has said. “I have tried to picture, as precisely as possible, the actual and innocent feeling of the governed.”’ You can find more of the artist’s work on the gallery website: https://kristinhjellegjerde.com/artists/103-ephrem-solomon/works/
