The curatorial framework of Shapes of Silence approaches silence as a social and political condition. Within this context, painting becomes a space where established hierarchies between language, image, and material are both enacted and unsettled, opening up a sensorial and embodied mode of experience.
Through works that range from monumental to intimate in scale, and through their powerful material presence, Kunbi’s practice unfolds as a physical archive of gestures, temporalities, and relationships — inviting a sustained encounter that reaches beyond the limits of language.

Yesterday marked the opening ceremony of Shapes of Silence, presented at the Ethiopia Pavilion at the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, with the presence and opening remarks of H.E. Ambassador Demitu Hambisa Bonsa, artist Tegene Kunbi, and co-curator Yohannes Mulat Mekonnen.
Major congratulations to Tegene Kunbi, the curatorial team — Abebaw Ayalew and Yohannes Mulat Mekonnen — and to everyone involved in making this important project possible.
It is a great honour and source of pride for Primo Marella Gallery to be a sponsor of this exhibition, reaffirming the gallery’s longstanding commitment to the promotion and development of African contemporary art through collaborations with artists, curators, and leading international institutions.

Tegene Kunbi will represent Ethiopia at the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, with the exhibition project Shapes of Silence, curated by Abebaw Ayalew and as assistant curator, Yohannes Mulat Mekonnen
Kunbi’s practice is grounded in painting as a layered material process, where oil and textiles on canvas are brought together to form dense, large-scale surfaces. His works incorporate fabrics of diverse origins — from hand-knitted materials produced within intimate, familial contexts to industrial textiles circulating across African markets — creating a visual field in which histories of labour, memory, and cultural meaning intersect.

Group exhibition:
📍at Primo Marella Gallery Milano
With works by: Joël Andrianomearisa, Hako Hankson, Abdoulaye Konate, Tegene Kunbi, Esther Mahalangu, Troy Makaza, Moffat Takadiwa and Samuel Nnorom
The exhibition explores contemporary African practices, where materials move beyond traditional support to become both language and structure. Through unconventional media – residual, organic, and industrial – artists shape meaning via layering, accumulation, and tension.
Recent international biennales mark a key shift: once peripheral, African artists now play a central role in redefining global contemporary discourse, as highlighted by their participation in major exhibitions, including the Venice Biennale 2026.
Don’t miss the chance to visit the exhibition and to explore how these artists transform materials, space and perception, revealing the new directions that define contemporary African art today!
See you at the gallery 😉

On view from September 19 to December 12, 2026, This new edition unfolds as a journey through Lyon itself, inviting audiences to navigate its spaces through layered narratives and shifting perspectives. Drawing inspiration from Robert Filliou’s concept of “poetic economy,” the Biennale reflects on how artistic practices intersect with systems of production, exchange, and care, while opening broader questions around value and its meanings today.
Spanning a network of emblematic sites across the city, the exhibition brings contemporary works into dialogue with historical materials and archives, echoing Lyon’s longstanding role as a hub of trade and industry, and framing art within wider social and material contexts.
We look forward to sharing more soon!
