Margaret Thatcher Projects is pleased to present Danjerus Cable, the gallery’s second solo exhibition of paintings by the Ethiopian-born, Berlin-based artist, Tegene Kunbi. His expressive abstractions layer blocks of vibrant color upon richly textured surfaces, addressing formal and emotional concerns fundamental to abstract art.

Kunbi compartmentalizes his pictorial space with his color palette, a powerful translation of his African roots that includes bold swathes of red and ochre as well as an array of blues and greens. Gradually, regions are further segmented while other areas merge as Kunbi skillfully layers vividly saturated colors that are thick with texture. Beneath his foreground, the history of his process remains visible, allowing viewers to pick apart the process at their leisure.
