CHASING DREAMS an art exhibition by Fikru Gebremariam was officially opened at the Alliance Ethio-Française on February 1, 2024. The exhibition will last until February 29th, 2024.

Fikru Gebremariam, an independent painter with a career spanning almost three decades, has established himself as a prominent figure in the art world. Despite not completing his studies at Howard University, Fikru has successfully showcased his works across Ethiopia, Europe, and North America, attracting the attention of anonymous collectors. His artistic journey led him to spend ten years in Paris, where he further honed his craft and developed his signature style, which is best described as abstract expressionism.

Renowned for his prolific output, Fikru has had the privilege of exhibiting alongside celebrated artists such as Chagall, Miro, Giarometti, Picasso, Soulages, and many others. His recent painting, “Great Emotion,” was recently sold at Bonhams New Bond Street, solidifying his position in the art market.

The CHASING DREAMS exhibition, featuring 36 of Fikru’s most recent works, is anticipated by art enthusiasts and collectors alike.
