-The Tate Modern is hosting an exhibition-Ibrahim El-Salahi: A Visionary Modernist Which is the The first Tate Modern exhibition dedicated to African Modernism traces the life and work of Ibrahim El-Salahi. This major retrospective brings together 100 works from across more than five decades of his international career. The exhibition highlights one of the most significant figures in African and Arab Modernism and reveals his place in the context of a broader, global art history.And the exhibition is presenting this artist’s personal journey, beginning in Sudan in the 1950’s and followed by his international schooling at the Slade School in London. After a period of research and self-discovery, he returned to Sudan in 1957.There, he established a new Sudanese visual vocabulary, which arose from his own pioneering integration of Islamic, African, Arab and Western artistic traditions. El-Salahi lived in Qatar before settling in England in the 1990s. His recent paintings reflect his joy for life, his deep spiritual faith, and a profound recognition of his place in the world.
-I have watched a short film about the artist introducing this exhibition and his exclusive art experience,the artist pointed that his paintings just like a new-born baby,and he doesn`t wanna name his artworks because on his opinion,the victors will give their own feelings,and let victors name the paintings, the artist doesn`t wanna lead victors thoughts.After all, art is freedom.
