Untitled, a brush, pen and ink drawing by Ibrahim El Salahi of Sudan shows two skeletal figures seemingly paralyzed in fear as they both gasp at the scorpion near their feet. The head of the male is crowned by bull’s horns, while the female has a small decorative creature on her chest. A koranic board sits between the heads of the two figures. Salahi once wrote that his nephew was stung by a deadly scorpion in Sudan and all that he and his sister could do, as doctors were useless, was stand by horrified and watch the child die. The well known Writer/Art Critic, Ulli Beier has said of Salahi that, “ No other artist could create a more perfect synthesis of the cultural elements that make up modern Sudan, the Islamic tradition and the wider all-African orientation of today." El Salahi now lives in England.
