African artist focuses on Arab Spring
The “Arab Spring Notebook” is a series of black ink drawings by Ibrahim El Salahi, one of the most renowned African artists as well as a leading figure in African Modernism; his response to the Arab Spring can be viewed at Galerist’s project space Studio from Sept. 1 to Oct 3. El Salahi’s paintings, which are in a single sketchbook, can be seen for the first time since an exhibition at the Tate Modern in 2013, becoming the first African artist to be given a full retrospective at the museum.
