Æmen Ededéen United States, b. 1979

Chance-based references in this painting include such disparate sources as a monograph on Art Brut by Carine Fol and an exhibition catalogue by William Kentridge. Painted on top of the earlier work from 2015, There is a Werewolf in the Psyche Ward presents a composition of dreaming figures over the previously erased pictorial space. Invoking Psyche, the ancient goddess of the soul, the title also alludes to the tensions of the present socio-political moment. As the artist noted, “I had no political intentions in that piece at all, but when it was done and I titled it I thought, “that's pretty much my last political commentary.”
