Summary:

To create a manner of artmaking that speaks to local, regional, and international communities defines the notion of hybridity in a global context. This has been the ambitious quest of Sudanese-born artist Ibrahim El-Salahi, from his first mature works to the new and astonishing group of drawings that are the subject of this publication. El-Salahi's intricate pen-and-ink Pain Relief Drawings serve as a form of respite for the 92-year-old artist, who finds diversion from his chronic pain through his daily drawing practice. This volume features over a hundred of these small-scale works drafted on the backs of medicine packets, envelopes, and scraps of paper. -- Page 4 of cover.
