This October and November, Telluride Arts HQ Gallery is featuring Seasonal Reflection an exhibit by Almigdad Aldikhaiiry.
Born in Sudan, Aldikhaiiry was a political cartoonist before he was a painter, turning out a fearless stream of visual commentary under the repressive regime of President al-Bashir. The artist was granted refugee status to the U.S. in 2016. His physical home today may be the city of Los Angeles, but his artistic and political focus is broader than ever.
In the weeks leading up to the October Art Walk, Telluride Arts hosted Aldikhaiiry for an artist residency, and he completed new works of art inspired by the Telluride valley. Almigdad responded to the natural environment, the colors of autumn, the animal kingdom, and more.
