Showing in the months of July, August and September is a retrospective of a collection of modern and contemporary Egyptian artists representing different generations from the 1960’s till 2010. Kamal Khalifa the avant garde of post expressionism with his modern portraits and sculptures of the 1960’s. Kamal El Sarrag gives us a musical variation of contemporary calligraphy concentrating on the letter “S”. Sarkis Tossoonian sculptures evoke a sense of elegance, grace and texture in his bronze sculptures. Alfons Louis delights us with his meticulously engraved wooden and granite shapes evoking figures and items from the past. Sculptor Said Badr deals with the subject of cities and histories through tirlously engraving on basalt writings derived from the Rosseta stone, hieroglyphs and Coptic languages. The young upcoming Marwa Adel photography and computer graphic designs gives us a blending of calligraphy and humans resulting in a unique and strong composition. Mostafa El Razzaz’s work enchants us with his emphasis on the symbiotic relation between the fisherman and the Nile using mythical philosophy. Katherine Bakhoum pastels evokes a sense of nostalgia while mastering the use of colors and motifes. Soad Mardam Bey gives us bold portraits with strong features and texture that evoke age while playing carefully with colors and letters. The promising Nadine Hammam modern painting of human figures outlined in thousands of tiny Swarovski diamonds and tireless multi layered canvases is a proof for the coming generation of modern art in Egypt. Mennah Hafez’s spontaneous mixed media canvases explores “The Joys of the Mystics” in bold red and green colors and strong brush strokes.
