Ezra Wube

 

Originally from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Ezra Wube has lived and worked in New York City for over 20 years. Using painting, collage, small sculptures, and paper cutouts, Wube narrates scenes of daily life from around the world, exploring our relationships to bustling metropolises and the natural world. He explores experiences of mobility, the malleability of time and place, and the dialogical tensions between "here" and "there.”
