In this lyrical, late diptych by Ghebreyesus, angels and musicians swirl against one of the brightly colored checkerboards signature to his painting. The work celebrates the artist’s own study of guitar along with the many other music genres and instruments that inspired him. The angels recall the visual language of the Coptic Christian Church of his childhood in Eritrea.
