Abdel Basit Khatim
Sudan, b.1942
A graduate of the College of Fine Arts at Khartoum University in 1967, Abdel Basit Khatim learnt the skill of carpentry from his father hence he replaced canvas with carved wood pieces, inspired by his immediate popular surroundings, that he paints in bright vibrant colours, intercepted by miniature scenes and calligraphic signs out of bounds of academic restraints.
