THROUGH THE WINDOW - በመስኮቱ ውስጥ by Elias Sime

Lawrie Shabibi presents THROUGH THE WINDOW - በመስኮቱ ውስጥ, the debut exhibition by Ethiopian artist Elias Sime in Dubai. Born in 1968 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Sime deftly weaves, layers and assembles carefully selected everyday materials such as including circuit boards, computer keys, and telecommunications wires, transforming them into lyrical abstract compositions that suggest topography, figuration, and colour fields. His works suggest the tenuousness of our interconnected world, alluding to the frictions between tradition and progress, human contact and social networks, nature and the man-made, and physical presence and the virtual.
