A conversation with Tesfaye Urgessa, a painter based between Nurtingen, Germany and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Tesfaye's paintings are figurative, fleshy and dynamic. There is often -- amidst the business of his paintings -- an anchor point in the form of a piercing gaze. In this episode, Tesfaye speaks to Alayo from his studio in Nurtingen, about his life and his practice. *apologies for the low sound quality, Tesfaye's studio is large and echoey*Keep up with us on instagram:Tesfaye: @tesfayeurgessaAlayo: @ablackhistoryofart @alayoakinkugbe
