Around the galleries
Egypt Salon, organised within the framework of the 3rd round of the annual Art Creativity Festival, is currently hosting a show at Horizon Onegallery in Mahmoud Khalil Museum, Giza. This year's round includes 15 artistic icons: Ahmed El-Settouhy, Ahmed Sheeha, Tharwat El-Bahr, El-Dessouki Fahmi, Sayed Saadeddin, Zeinab Salem, Ezzeddin Naguib, Mohamed Rizq among others, who represent different genres of art including painting, sculpture, graphic, ceramic, installation and video art. Most of the artworks echo the glory of the past with an adventurous and experimental spirit. This week's review will focus on the art of ceramist Zeinab Salem.
Created from terracotta, the ceramics distinguish themselves by their admirable glow, the beautiful music of colours, the diversity of technique, the admirable glaze and attractive shiny surfaces. Salem's art objects follow in the tradition of Egypt's great ceramists led by the trailblazer Said El-Sadr and his successors Gamal Abdel-Rahim, Nabil Darwish, Mohieddin Hussein and Mohamed Mandour. Salem is distinguished by her success in producing elaborate aesthetics in her objects. Interestingly, the palm tree is the basic motif in Salem's work. Perhaps, the ceramist admires this particular tree for its majestic height and fan-like pointed leaves, which embrace the horizon and blend in with the blue sky. Starting with the palm tree, Salem sets out on an epic journey motivated by sincere feelings and emotions. Likewise, the artist delicately and cleverly handles clay obtained from the Nile delta to create objects highlighting the Egyptian identity and spirit.
Her touch and texture are surprising and appealing, producing works which have become landmarks.
Salem was born in the coastal city of Suez in 1945. She moved to different provinces across the nation, experiencing desert, oases, green areas and the Nile. Her optical memory became crowded with scenes that her eye fell on during her trips. A Faculty of Applied Arts graduate, Salem received international and national recognition such as the grand prix at the Cairo International Biennial in 1994.
The exhibition is on until 30 June.
