Clay & The Holy Bull
Written by Prof. Osman Elamin Shibir
My early childhood has a remarkable impact on my present constitution, I used to construct of clay an intimate fanciful world. The various forms fascinated my imagination while building up the bull, the holy creature among the Nilotic tribes especially the Shuluk in Malakal. Those childish works still gain vitality in my contemporary artistry, flavored with considerable abstraction.
Modern African Art Hall
Written by Prof. Osman Elamin Shibir
This is the Sudan, the symbolic reservoir of Africa. The sand and the jungle integrate. The dialects and the signals accumulate the colourful plumage and the flowery foliage with the insect communicate. Here is the virgin land that well inspires in life sobriety, art, internal harmony and external beauty. All these operate intrinsically to enrich our souls with the balanced activity, concept and perspective.
