ET SI ON PEINT LA VERITE\u2026
D\u00e9but f\u00e9vrier, l’Alliance Ethio-fran\u00e7aise (Addis-Abeba) accroche \u00e0 ses murs 45 \u0153uvres du peintre Dereje Shiferaw. Ce sont des portraits\u2026 taill\u00e9s \u00e0 l’emporte-pi\u00e8ce. En ce sens qu’ils mettent au-devant du visage l’expression premi\u00e8re et la v\u00e9rit\u00e9 des couleurs. Dereje Shiferaw ne recherche aucune s\u00e9duction. Les regards sont parfois lourds, vaguement surpris, mur\u00e9s dans la d\u00e9cision, et les mains\u2026
A l’image du photographe am\u00e9ricain Dawoud Bey qui parlait de la v\u00e9rit\u00e9 des mains, celles que peint Dereje Shiferaw rappellent les mains du peintre flamand Constand Permeke. Ca se passait de l’autre c\u00f4t\u00e9 de la terre, dans la profondeur des labours. Terre sombre, visages referm\u00e9s et puissants, mains \u00e9normes habit\u00e9es par le travail. Dereje Shiferaw est de cette cat\u00e9gorie qui lit au travers du corps et de la posture la d\u00e9cision de l’esprit.
Dans l’interview qu’il donne \u00e0 un m\u00e9dia \u00e9thiopien, Shiferaw parle de „???????? ?\u2019??????, ?\u2019??????? ?? ?\u2019??\u0301?????? ?? ??? ????? ?? ?? ?\u2019???????? ????? ??? ???????? ???? ?? ????? ?? ???????? ???? ?? ??? ?? ??? ?????? ??? ???? ???? ??? ????????? ?\u2019??? ??? ?????? ?\u0301??\u0301 ???????\u0301?? \u2026“. A l’image de cette femme, les mains devant elle, pos\u00e9es sur ses genoux, des jointures \u00e9paisses, tordues par la r\u00e9p\u00e9tition de la peine. Un critique local \u00e9voque \u00e0 ce sujet “ la t\u00e9nacit\u00e9 et la dignit\u00e9“ que conf\u00e8re \u00e0 ces sujets la perte d’une chose. Foutaises.
Ce n’est pas la souffrance, mais l’\u00eatre profond, l’humanit\u00e9 premi\u00e8re. Nous n’avons nullement besoin de souffrir pour \u00eatre humains. Faut-il perdre un enfant, faut-il voir sa maison et sa r\u00e9colte, d\u00e9truites par les bombes pour atteindre \u00e0 la l\u00e9gitimit\u00e9 humaine? Dereje Shiferaw est bien plus subtil que \u00e7a. Il donne au silence de l’ordinaire, \u00e0 cette vie faite de riens, une clart\u00e9 int\u00e9rieure, une volont\u00e9 que rien ne va d\u00e9mentir.
N\u00e9 en 1978, peintre par sa propre volont\u00e9, hors les murs des \u00e9coles, Dereje explore donc cet int\u00e9rieur et engage avec son spectateur un int\u00e9ressant dialogue. Lors de cette m\u00eame exposition \u00e0 Addis-Abeba, Manfred Seitinger \u00e9crit \u00e0 son sujet, : “ ?‘??? ??? ?????????? ?\u0300 ?‘???????? ???????????? ?? ?\u0301??????????????? ???? ?‘???????? ?? ?????. ??? ????? ?? ???? ??? ?’\u0153??, ?? ???, ?? ?????? ?? ??? ?????, ??\u0300 ??\u0300 ??? ?\u0301??????? ???? ?? ????? ?????\u0301?????\u0301??\u2026“ Puis il va plus loin encore et r\u00e9sume la philosophie de Dereje Shiferaw par cette formule lapidaire: 1 + 1 = 3. „?? ?????????????? ?‘??? ????????? ????\u0301?????? ???????? ???\u0301????? ????? ?? ???? ????.“ Et cette fois, l’\u00e9clairage est le bon.

Wenn wir die Wahrheit malen \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


Anfang Februar pr\u00e4sentierte die Ethio-Franz\u00f6sische Allianz (Addis Abeba) 45 Werke des Malers Dereje Shiferaw. Das sind Portraits vom Feinsten. Ausgef\u00fchrt in intensivster Farbgebung um seinen Wahrnehmungen den tiefsten Sinn zu geben . Dereje Shiferaw sucht keine Verf\u00fchrung. Die Blicke sind manchmal schwer und depressiv, vage \u00fcberrascht und letztendlich liegt der ganze Ausdruck der handelnden Personen in … deren ungew\u00f6hnlich expressiv dargestellten H\u00e4nden.
Wie der amerikanische Fotografen Dawoud Bey, der \u00fcber die Wahrheit der H\u00e4nde sprach, erinnern diejenigen, die Dereje Shiferaw an die H\u00e4nde des fl\u00e4mischen Malers Constand Permeke. Es passierte auf der anderen Seite der Erde, in der Tiefe der Pfl\u00fcge und Eggen. Dunkle Erde, geschlossene und kraftvolle Gesichter, riesige H\u00e4nde, die von der Arbeit mitgenommen sind. Dereje Shiferaw geh\u00f6rt zu dieser Art von Mensch, der sowohl im K\u00f6rper als auch in der K\u00f6rperhaltung seiner Modelle, die Entscheidung derer pers\u00f6nlichen Geisteshaltung liest.
Shiferaw spricht in einem Interview, das er der \u00e4thiopischen Presse gab, \u00fcber \u2032\u2032 Geist, Wesen und Verm\u00e4chtnis seines Themas zu erfassen und darum es als Chance f\u00fcr die Welt zu nutzen, um in das Leben und das K\u00e4mpfen von Menschen zu hineinzuschauen. Menschen, deren Geschichten noch nicht erz\u00e4hlt wurden\u2026“. Wie diese Frau, die die H\u00e4nde vor ihr, auf ihren Scho\u00df gelegt hat , dicke Schwielen, verst\u00e4rkt und tief eingedrungen durch Wiederholung von regelm\u00e4\u00dfigen Strafen, die sie erhielt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ein lokaler Kritiker berichtet dar\u00fcber \u2032\u2032 Hartn\u00e4ckigkeit und W\u00fcrde die diesen Themen durch den Verlust einer Sache verliehen wird. Aufw\u00fchlend und katastrophal.
Es geht nicht um Leid, sondern es geht um Tiefe, um Empathie, das Mensch-Sein soll sein zuerst. Wir brauchen keineswegs Mitleid f\u00fcr den Mensch. Muss man ein Kind verlieren, muss man sein Haus und seine Ernte sehen, die durch Bomben zerst\u00f6rt wurden, um menschliche Legitimit\u00e4t zu erreichen? Dereje Shiferaw ist viel subtiler. Er verleiht dem Schweigen des Gew\u00f6hnlichen, diesem eingekerkertem Leben , innere Klarheit, au\u00dfergew\u00f6hnlichen Willen, in dem man nichts verleugnen kann.
Geboren 1978, Maler mit voller \u00dcberzeugung und Begeisterung und durch konsequentes Tun zu gro\u00dfartigen Ergebnissen kommend , au\u00dferhalb der Mauern von Schulen und verkl\u00e4renden Universit\u00e4ten, erkundet Dereje deshalb dieses Innere und verf\u00fchrt seine Zuschauer zu einen interessanten inneren Dialog. Auf dieser Ausstellung in Addis Abeba schreibt Manfred Seitinger \u00fcber ihn: \u2032\u2032 Es ist ein Anreiz, sich k\u00f6rperlich und emotional in die Geschichte diesen Themas hineinzuversetzen. Seine Schwerpunkte setzt er auf Augen, Nase, Mund und H\u00e4nde, seine Ausdrucksm\u00f6glickeiten hat er au\u00dfergew\u00f6hnlich fein und suptil gew\u00e4hlt \u2026“ Dann geht er noch weiter und fasst die Philosophie von Dereje Shiferaw mit dieser lapidarischen Formel zusammen: 1 + 1 = 3. \u2032\u2032 In Anerkennung einer h\u00f6heren Macht, die immer unter und bei uns vorhanden ist.“ Und diesmal ist die Beleuchtung die richtige.

Dereje is a self-taught artist from Ethiopia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


His work is not to reproduce what the eye sees, but to capture his own deepest feelings about a subject and to express with twisted lines, forms, and color. Texture and shape are at the core of his paintings.
Dereje Shiferaw is interested in depicting compelling figurative portraits from different generations. His work is a vibrant volume of visual questions on humanity filled with powerful portraits of the black man floating in colourful na\u00efve cosmos<\/strong>. The tribal-like environ painted with a free light-handed flow, is well suited to his selected medium of watercolor mixed medium and innovative treatments which he uses to paint full powerful portraits, probing insects, and all aspects of nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n


Dereje\u2019s work compels the viewer to become physically and emotionally invested in the subject\u2019s story. His painting helps create an intriguing dialogue between the subject and the viewer. His point of focus in the eye, nose, mouth, and hands which is where our emotions are best portrayed. This is Dereje\u2019s 1+1=3\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026..philosophy, in recognition of a higher power always present amongst and with us.
Dereje translates these visions through his signature watercolor and mixed media on paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1+1=3\u2026.
Dereje Shiferaw is an intuitive and gifted painter,born in Asmera in 1978,whose\u2026“combined love for art and nature\u2026has found its way into my life\u2026“states the avantgarde Artist.
Dereje’s deliberate bold brush strokes and in comparable oil pastel technique,create deep multidimensional composition set in contrasting environs from tranquility to turmoil. Where many artists are refining and defining,Dereje is emphasizing and questioning,His signature Continental melanated men and women,project lush illustrious lips with huge contorted hands accentuated with simple yet stylized nose and eyes which speak volumes. They are familiar yet funky and fresh and Dereje is unbridled by any academic pedagogy or formula;hence he freely goes where most formally taught artist dare to venture,making him exceptional.
The self-taught stay-at-home-dad Artist, whose work has been exclusively collected by foreigners and exhibited abroad,interrogates life through his art;promoting his philosophy of „1+1=3\u2026.“
Basically,Dereje declares\u2026“recognition of the higher power always present amongst and with us\u2026“ and is comfortable leaving judgement to that ultimate Arbiter.
„Influenced by nature,human beings,social elements to questionable politics,culture, economic circumstance in Ethiopia,Africa and worldwide\u2026“ according to Dereje ,he gathers motivation at every turn.inspiration is everywhere\u2026..from his infant baby son’s sounds and movements against the soundscape of jazz music softly playing in his studio to the hidden monastery cave across from his home\/studio\u2026he createds and shares his codified colorful Chronicles with the world. Dereje’s art can stand the test of time and international review. Dereje’s art is poetic,even musical; providing vision,voice and victory for his subject. Derejeshares „The Intriguing dialogues between the subject’s message and the viewer is compelling\u2026..physically and emotionally invested in the subject’s story, my aim is to capture the spirit,essence and heritage of my subject’s and use this as opportunity for the world to peer into the lives and struggles of people whose stories are yet to be told\u2026..
