Biography

Kamala Ibrahim Ishaq (Arabic: كمالا إبراهيم اسحق, born 1939) is a Sudanese painter and art teacher, known as one of the founders of The Crystalist conceptual art group in Khartoum. This group rejected common conventions in Sudanese modern painting of the 1960s and strived to find “an aesthetic and critical language that would emphasise the notions of pleasure and knowledge in order to permanently abolish differences and boundaries”. Based on her artistic career spanning more than fifty years, Ishaq has been called one of the most important visual artists in Africa. Ishaq was born in Omdurman and studied from 1959 to 1963 at the College of Fine and Applied Art of the Khartoum Technical Institute that later became the Sudan University of Science and Technology (SUST) in Khartoum. Further to this, she pursued her postgraduate studies in painting, illustration and lithography at the Royal College of Art in London between 1964 and 1969. After her stay in London, she returned to teach at her former college and also became dean of this art school.
