KARIM FRANCIS CONTEMPORARY ART GALLERY

BOOTH A9

In 1995, to fill the gap in the contemporary art scene in Egypt, Karim Francis Gallery was opened. Located within a pedestrian area of downtown Cairo, the gallery is a unique venue where paintings and sculptures are exhibited. While continually discovering, encouraging, supporting and promoting the achievement of Egypt’s artists, past and present, including renowned Egyptians masters who represent important currents in art, Karim Francis Gallery also aims to highlight contemporary Egyptian artists, in a variety of styles and mediums, by presenting their work nationally, regionally and internationally. This project is curated by Heba El Moaz.

Artists presented at AKAA 2022:
Amado Al Fadni, Hany Rashed

Amado Alfadni +

Egyptian-born Sudanese artist. His Childhood was composed of two environments: the Cairene street and the Sudanese home. The relationship, and sometimes tension, between the two strongly influenced his view ofboth cultures. The need to express this dual perspective led him to make art Initially and has informed his work since. AlFadni ’s work discusses the relationship between the included and the excluded, and opens dialogue on issues of identity and politics, by working with forgotten historical events and current state policies. Fearlessly through his art Amado engages with forgotten historical chapters that are difficult to digest, as he then references them with the current state of things. Based on his dedicated and passionate study with documentation, he delves into sore and sensitive passages of time that have been ignored, to make a credible case for those who thus far have not been heard, nor given a platform to speak of their anguish, pain, hurt and trauma, to understand the dotted lines left behind.

Hany Rashed +

Born in Cairo in 1975, Hany Rashed lives and works in Cairo. A self-taught artist, Rashed worked closely with renowned artist Mohamed Abla - who became his mentor. By experimenting with a wide range of techniques, such as collage, monotype, painting, and sculpture, Rashed continuously reinvents himself and his work. His predilection for the use of media images in his earlier work has pushed the audience to recognize the banality and the damage caused by excessive exposure to Western media, highlighting the depersonalization of the individual. At the beginning of the 2011 Revolution, Rashed played a leading role in documenting part of the contemporary Egyptian history through his sarcastic production. After his comic character "Asa7by"(2012), making fun of the abuse of visual Internet memes, "Bulldozer" (2015), directly denouncing the omnipresent mediocrity, and "The last farewell" (2017), addressing his very personal life tragedy, Rashed comes back to explore with much irony the multiple facets of Egyptian life. His gypsum vehicles re-enact the jumbled chaos of Cairo, the hubbub of the city, and thus the voices of the people. Some of Rashed’s work forms part of the private collection of the Tate Modern Gallery in London. The artist has held several workshops in many Egyptian galleries and elsewhere. His work has been featured all around Europe and Egypt.
