Amir Shingray
Canada
1962
Of Beja descent, Amir Shingray was raised in the Sudanese coastal city of Swakin. He left the Sudan in 1984 for Istanbul where he lived for a half dozen years. Due to circumstances in the Sudan, he came to North America, eventually making his way to Toronto in the early 1990s.
Since coming to Canada, Shingray has been working primarily in the graphic design field, all the while pursuing distinctive paintings, mixed media works and drawings that are charged with raw psychic energy. Shingray's work swirls in the spaces between abstraction and representation. The viewer of Shingray's work will be conscious of a constant buffeting from despair to hope, from a celebration of beauty to an exploration of the human capacity for inferno. Whatever his specific subject, Shingray's sweeping gestures, bold lines, and melding of colour give birth to integrated wholes that seem to embody the movement of life itself. The works available through CSg and displayed on these pages have been produced in the past few years, including the 2006 "Landmarks" series. The first 9 thumbnails in the present profile for Shingray consist of the 9 pieces in a single painting-installation called "Landmarks (Our 9/11 World) Series", and are displayed as they would appear as an ensemble on a wall.
Shingray is preparing for a mixed-genre show at Craig Scott Gallery in 2007, which will include a major installation and which will involve collaborators from around the world.
Education
Two cities have had a formative influence on Shingray's artistic trajectory, Swakin and Istanbul. Although when Shingray arrived in Istanbul, he did not yet know he wanted to pursue a fine art career, he did follow as a child the activities of art students coming from Khartoum to Swakin to draw the splendour of Swakin's Islamic architecture and city life as part of their graduation thesis for the Khartoum Fine Arts School. Shingray considers Ustad Babikir, a leading Swakin artist, to have been his first art teacher. In Istanbul, he was much influenced by Gregory Wolf, an American professor at Bogazici University, with whom Shingray worked for six years before departing from Turkey.
