For this new 'Art in...' post and as a follow up to our previous posts on Sudanese artists like El Tayib Daw El Bait and Ahmed Abushariaa, today we want to introduce you Hamid Ayoub.

He was born in Sudan in 1967, and he's presently living in Ottawa. He is a Bachelor of Arts graduate from the College of Fine and Applied Arts, Sudan University of Sciences and Technology, with a specialization in Textile Design.

We can read on Ayoub official website:

For him art, is ever present because we are surrounded by shapes and colours which are the pulse of any artistic creation. Every-day sights and situations shape the work of the artist. Hamid Ayoub depicts the emotions of human spirit through colour and movement. Different mediums are used to render the entire spectrum of life experiences. Hamid's work has been exhibited in many venues in Sudan, Niger, France, Holland, England, the United States and Canada.

We like the way he paints women and their movements, walking, dancing.... His paintings are colorful and very inspired. If you want to know more about the artist, visit his website and don't forget to read the Artist Statement page.

Apparently Ayoub last exhibition was in Montreal in 2010, we hope we will attend one of his show soon!
