On The Scene: Artists in Sudan were forced to leave some of their artworks in the conflict-torn country due to aerial bombardments, ground battles, marauding paramilitaries and widespread looting. The Sudanese art scene, which had gained momentum from the popular uprising against autocrat Omar al-Bashir, now finds itself scattered by war four years later.

Why do I paint ? The answer is in this old interview:
(1) How did you get into art?
I believe I was born to be an artist. This is why I am a self taught by nature.In my early childhood my eyes opened in a surrounding full of beautiful colours of nature and sounds of the singing birds both the local and migrating ones that annually visit Sudan specifically during winter from Europe. Another factor is I was brought up in the peaceful small but historical town of Berber in the Nile Province, north Sudan. It is rich in fertile lands and cultivation fields and orchard-fruits.

Journalists Explore Art in Khartoum
Away from the daily work toll, many journalists have set up their tents for entertainment. During this night, journalists were breathing a sigh of relief and rest, from being away from the working environment, to unleash their artistic talents such as poetry and singing.
The journalists' tent is an initiative launched by Taiba Press Foundation for the fourth year in a row, as an annual tradition that the journalists wait for every year.
Faisal Mohammed Saleh, director of Taiba Press is a well-known Sudanese journalist and political analyst.

My colour paintings
Abdelmoneim Abdelmahmoud Alarabi
Doctor of Medicine, Consutant Physician and Nephrologist, UK
Why do I paint ? The answer is in this old interview:
(1) How did you get into art?
I believe I was born to be an artist. This is why I am a self taught by nature.In my early childhood my eyes opened in a surrounding full of beautiful colours of nature and sounds of the singing birds both the local and migrating ones that annually visit Sudan specifically during winter from Europe. Another factor is I was brought up in the peaceful small but historical town of Berber in the Nile Province, north Sudan. It is rich in fertile lands and cultivation fields and orchard-fruits. I recall my first awareness of the tall beautiful date palms trees in the surroundings and how attracted my attention and love to them to the extent that I thought I could even communicate with them. Dark nights and the beautiful galaxy glittering stunning colourful lights make amazing skies to enjoy as well as the joyous blue skies and touches of beautiful clouds at day time was another attraction. In this instance I have to mention the significant role of my grand mother’s tales which enriched our imaginations at that early age by telling us her very interesting Fairey tales during the long boring winter nights. As a child I started to come in touch with the real colours as a material when I entered the primary school in which we had a weekly session of applied art as well as the enjoyment of looking into the so many interesting drawings in those simplified children’s manuals and books given to us .
(2) how did you develop your style? ( More of a personal answer rather than an educational background)
As I mentioned previously I just found myself born with the talent to draw and paint because I started very early in life by drawing figures and shapes on the walls or the clean sands when we go out as children to play. Formally I started art lessons as part of the curriculums in the secondary school during which I discovered that I can create beautiful abstracts even in black and white using simple lines and curves and then I can come out with a motif that would produce something interesting. During my travels in Europe in UK and the Scandinavian countries the colourful carpeted landscapes have contributed influencing my desire for painting. I have had no previous experience with oils or acrylics. I discovered later more about them in art books, magazines, art shops and galleries. I thus decided to explore the World of oils and acrylic painting which I later have mastered and loved. I like to work most in abstract motifs however landscape painting is my second choice, the same as in photography which is my other favourite hobby since the age of eleven years.
(3) What were your biggest struggles when developing yourself and your artwork?
It is lack of space and leisure time for such a time-consuming hobby. Being a physician is itself time and effort consuming.
(4) What is your inspiration? Are you influenced by lifestyle in Sudan and its Traditional Cultures ?
As I mentioned previously, I have been inspired since early childhood by the surrounding nature in which I was born and brought up as well as by colour itself self as an entity in its different sounds whether found on a piece of cloth, papers or tins of sweets and jams as well as the different shapes and colours created by clouds in the skies specially during autumn. I am indebted to my brother in law the international artist and calligraphy legioned , the late professor Ahmed Mohamed Shibrain who discovered from an early time my artistic talent and encouraged me to continue. I am also thankful to Ibrahim Salahi, Kamala Issaq , the late prof Hussain Jamman , Uteiby, Mohammed Hussain Elfaki, the Late Ahmad Alshrif , Zubeir Almelik, prof Mohammed Abusabib, Rashid Diab and others for their encouragement and positive criticism. When Shibrain felt that I have stood on my feet he asked me to exhibit for the first time my work in his gallery. I thank him and his family for hosting for in three occasions my solo exhibitions in Shibrain Gallery, Khartoum in 2004, 2013 and 2016. I had also exhibited in the French Cultural Centre in Khartoum in 2008 and Rashid Diab Center 2015
(5) Do you have any advice for young artists?
I advice young artists to continue experimenting and never give up or feel intimidated by any negative criticism that they are failures . Self education and teaching is an important additional school the doors of which are open for public . Fortunately nowadays the internet is providing the whole World with abundance of knowledge and free search teachings in any subject and in any language. Therefore the young artists should explore the internet for such a free help, directions or tips which my self have found very useful. I wish all the best for all of the young artists or students in training

Journalists Explore Art in Khartoum
Away from the daily work toll, many journalists have set up their tents for entertainment. During this night, journalists were breathing a sigh of relief and rest, from being away from the working environment, to unleash their artistic talents such as poetry and singing.
The journalists' tent is an initiative launched by Taiba Press Foundation for the fourth year in a row, as an annual tradition that the journalists wait for every year.
Faisal Mohammed Saleh, director of Taiba Press is a well-known Sudanese journalist and political analyst.
We liked to carry out a spiritual, cultural, entertaining and artistic activity for the journalists and their families, simply because they are usually preoccupied with their work and there are no social, cultural or entertainment programs that could bring them together. The main idea started with the journalists and their families and then it became open to the public.
As for Yasser Arki a Sudanese journalist and singer, he spoke about the talents of the journalists.
This is a form of hobby for us. We are not professionals but we like it. Such nights entertain us and keep us in communication with our colleagues.
Moreover, the journalist Mohammad Jadin, surprised the attendees with his marvelous singing talent.
Mashaer Othman, a young journalist, expressed her feelings through words and poems that she addressed to the audience. "The daily work of the journalist is very tiring since we work under pressure, looking for information and stories, writing reports, etc. This is why the journalist needs such an event during which he can be creative and show his talent" she said.
Journalistic work is always pressing. All day long, the journalist is looking for information. They are either at a press conference or doing a report. They are in need of such events to show off his or her numerous talents.
After that night, where journalists listened to the pulse of the songs and poems, they may have found an outlet for joy and talents' parade, in order to handle their endless concerns in their work, which consists of reporting problems and troubles.

B & W art work of a Physician in diaspora - Between hobby and profession
I am a Consultant Physician and Nephrologist , practising with the NHS in UK. Photography and painting are part of my several hobbies. This video slideshow contains some of my Fifth Solo Exhibition of B&W paintings at Shibrain’s Art Centre in Khartoum Sudan on December 2016. It was only in Black and Whites with the title “ The Echoes of Time and Places “
Dr of Medicine Abdelmoneim Abdelmahmoud Alarabi
Associate Professor, medicinska fakulteten, Uppsala Universitet, Sweden
Why is black and white is the main feature of this kind of my art?.
I exhibited previously in photography and coloured painting using oils and acrylics. In fact I meant this time to highlight on the importance of both the white and black as important colours in themselves and are indispensable for any form of art work, without them no perfect painting would be accomplished to make shape. Black and white technique is mostly considered as a tool for drawing figurative expressions or sketching . However, I wanted to draw the attention of the viewer to the beauty of graphic painting when only these two colours are considered.
The majority of this work is more or less of an abstract nature however in some paintings there is an obvious atmosphere of reality. In this work the viewer would sense a reflection of my identity as an African-Sudanese and perhaps as well as my religious-social background. It is also a reflection of my childhood memories of the primary school and nostalgia to my grandmother’s photographic-descriptions in her fairy tales which we enjoyed before we sleep the long dark and monotonous winter nights. Having been living abroad for decades I haven’t ever forgotten all these nostalgic memories. On the contrary my passions for home and longing for the old lovely days and visiting again certain individual places is a continuous provocative stimulus for nostalgia to write a verse, a prose or to paint an abstract . This trend helps me to overcome the negative impact of being away from my original home, The Sudan, in which my beloved ones do still exist despite the ongoing sufferings, remains the dream land of love and passion not only for myself but for many of the Sudanese in diaspora .
Some of these drawings were part of my last exhibition at Shibrain’s gallery in Khartoum. It was a complete well designed project in itself and for me was a new experience challenging the misconception and illiteracy that black and white painting is not an art . In short black colour is very identified in itself and it represents the utmost degree of beauty among other colours. Therefore in my opinion black and white painting is a beautiful and attractive school of fine art
I wish the viewer's time would allow for the deep understanding and enjoyment of the vast material which is shown in this unique exhibition. Black and white always complete each other
I must elaborate on the fact that the generous offer of the late Professor Ahmed Shibrain and his family is highly appreciated and should be praised as they host exhibitions of the Sudanese artists for free. It was a golden opportunity which I considered taking with plenty of thanks. The very comfortable space at The Shibrain's Gallery makes it an ideal place for Exhibitions or workshops. It is also easy to access by car or foot within few minutes of promenade in Al-Ryadh residential area
Many thanks to all the visitors of this channel and special thanks to the late professor Shibrain for his continuous support, encouragement and hospitality to me without which the last exhibition wouldn't have been a reality . May Allah Bless him in his paradise and his family in their life . Amen .

It is also easy to access by car or foot within few minutes of promenade in Al-Ryadh residential area
Many thanks to all the visitors of this channel and special thanks to the late professor Shibrain for his continuous support, encouragement and hospitality to me without which the last exhibition wouldn't have been a reality . May Allah Bless him in his paradise and his family in their life . Amen .
