Hassan Musa (born 1951 in Sudan[1]) is a contemporary artist who lives and works in Southern France.[2] Musa is considered an important contemporary African artist.[3]
Musa earned a master's degree from the College of Fine and Applied Art at the Sudan University of Science and Technology, Khartoum, Sudan, 1976 and a doctorate in Fine Art and Art History from the University of Montpellier, France, 1979.[4]
Work
Musa's large works are usually executed in textile ink on printed textile,[5] creatively blending the designs of the fabric with his own painting. In his art, which he claims should not be labelled as "African",[6] Musa often[7] appropriates[8] classical Western masterpieces such as The Gleaners by Jean-François Millet[9] · [10] or Olympia by Edouard Manet.[11] Confronting and mixing these classical images with latter-day icons such as Vincent van Gogh,[12] Josephine Baker,[13] Che Guevara[1] · [14] or Osama bin Laden,[15] · [16] Musa creates a critical view on western art, politics and culture.[17] · [18]
Hassan Musa is also a calligrapher[2] · ,[19] an engraver[20] and has illustrated numerous books.[21]
The artist is represented by the Pascal Polar gallery, Brussels, Belgium.
Exhibitions
Alongside gallery exhibitions, Musa's works have been shown at:
