Hafez Gallery in Jeddah launched this Wednesday a solo art exhibition by the Egyptian artist, Ibrahim El Dessouki, under the title “Synchronizing light and shadow.”
The artist’s work left many visitors in awe at the strength and deepness of the exhibited art. His work will be on display until Jan. 14, 2015, and will showcase the artist’s most seminal works.
El Dessouki is renowned for his unique style and distinctive choice of subject, and for skillfully capturing the spirit of modern day Egypt. The exhibit’s main attraction featured an archetypal Egyptian woman, with classical ancient Egyptian features.
El Dessouki delves even further into the sacred visual landscape of ancient Egypt with his paintings, which far from being ordinary architectural representations, hum with mystical energy. The columns cast shadows that place the site firmly across the threshold of two worlds, one set in darkness, the other in light.
