El Tayeb @ Le Rustique
By Xavier Verhoest

Le Rustique gallery in Nairobi is proud to invite you to a show of recent works by Sudanese painter El Tayeb (1965) from 9th of April to 2nd May 2010.

^{Artist El Tayeb}

El Tayeb is considered as the most talented Sudanese artist based in Nairobi.

El Tayeb was born in 1965, he studied at the University of Khartoum where he specialized in art and textiles design and settled in Nairobi in 1997.

In this new exhibition, recurrent themes of his work - the cycle of life and death, nudity, symbols of the Nubian civilization - will be shown on various media such as paper, textile and canvas.

This new body of work is a celebration of colour and the development of a very personal internal imagery.
