Fawziya Hawwas
THE GEZIRA Arts Centre in Zamalek recently hosted a restrospective of the work of Abdel-Salam Eid, perhaps the best-established Alexandrine artist, representing the full range of his achievement and his various stages of development. Eid’s distinctive style, which combines sculpture and architecture with painting in a unique plastic harmony, is demonstrated here to stunning effect.
At the Al-Hanager Gallery, Opera House grounds, artist Fawziya Hawwas has exhibited approximately 50 paintings depicting flora. But these are not plants as we know them. In isolated, starkly precise formulations, using a boldly limited palette, Hawwas turns flowers into charged symbols of an inner reality.
