Tewodros Hagos (b. 1974, Addis Ababa) graduated from Addis Ababa University School of Fine Arts and Design in 1995. Today, Hagos is considered one of his generation’s most promising artists.

His works have been exhibited in Ethiopia, Belgium, Germany, Italy, and the US. Hagos’ work is often inspired by contemporary journalistic imagery as he explores the many layers of social injustice experienced by migrants. At home in Ethiopia, his paintings witness Ethiopia’s profound transformation and evolution.

Established in 2012, Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery has fast gained a reputation for exhibiting a diverse roster of innovative, international artists, both emerging and established, with strong theoretical and aesthetic bases.

Since its inception, the gallery has embraced a collaborative, multicultural curatorial approach, maintaining a deep devotion to the artists it represents while fostering close relationships with museums and curators worldwide.
