"Her paintings, created with markings like spirals, doodles, circles and stars, evoke the fabrics worn by women in Somali bazaars, the slanted flourishes of Arabic calligraphy and the countryside of Kenya and upstate New York." —New York Times Published with The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum . Born in 1980 in Mogadishu, the artist Uman left the country at the age of nine to escape the Somali Civil War, settling with extended relatives in Mombasa. She eventually made her way to Denmark, and ultimately to her present home in New York. Her practice, which spans painting, works on paper, murals, sculpture and mosaics, recalls the flamboyant textiles of Eastern Africa, the hyperkinetic tapestry of New York City and the vast countryside of both Turkana, Kenya, and upstate New York. Published on the occasion of the artist's first institutional solo exhibition, this clothbound monograph collects Uman's paintings, video, site-specific mural and sculpture. Featuring a new text by exhibition curator Amy Smith-Stewart and a new poem by Ilka Scobie, After all the things... marks the first comprehensive publication on a visionary artist whose work resonates with particular urgency today.
