And yet it all seems limitless.” Artist Hussein Salim pays tribute to his mother in his new exhibition Queens of Africa Sudanese-born artist Hussein Salim similarly captures that elusive juncture between the fleeting and the eternal in the radiant dreamscapes of his paintings. The artist himself has “used colours that are what I feel to be traditionally African. Although they are different colours – some bright, some dull – they harmoniously blend into one image, and that image is of the indomitableness of African women”. His exhibition is at the Elizabeth Gordon Gallery in Florida Road, Durban, until November 28Independent on Saturday
