Opening Reception Of A Solo Exhibition By MOHAMED ABOU ELNAGA On May 18th @ 6:00pm

Categories:

“The Warrior” - Mohamed Abou El Naga reflect on the issue of being a warrior in contemporary times through images that have being taken from archives, films, objects, personalexperience as well appropriated historical characters. The Warrior sees a departure from past phases to new realms where the artist made an intervention on mix media painting, video installation, paper making and printmaking, all the work was inspired by an old unique photo archive dating back to the 19th century when the British colonization started in Egypt.

“Iranian Carpets” - Abou Elnaga take us to a very deep journey without falling into nostalgia, he portrays in a series of photographs and video works, the challenges facing the individual in a country where the lines between traditions and Western influences are constantly renegotiated. Without breaking the tradition of weaving in with the passage of time, the materials used in carpets, including wooll, silk and cotton, will decay.
