Kareem Lotfy and Andeel: New Folder (2)

Kareem Lotfy and Andeel: New Folder (2)

By : Medrar TV مدرار تي في

Egyptian artist Kareem Lotfy and cartoonist Andeel were prompted by Nile Sunset Annex in Cairo to collaborate remotely and put together a show of extremely large drawings, video art, sculpture, and online/offline presences. The exhibition presents presents a cynical take on “the magic of the ordinary,” mixing craftsmanship and intuition. The artists describe this show as "not an artistic struggle, and at some point it almost got itself called `Incest.` Thank God it didn’t".

Painter Ahmed Sabry takes Inspiration from the Fifth Settlement

Ahmed Sabry is a painter based in Cairo. His work often builds on the images propagated by mass media, and reflects a dark sense of humor. His 2012 series, titled The True story of Mohannad`s death for instance was inspired by the famous Turkish soap opera Noor. His latest project, titled Fifth District and currently showing at Mashrabia Gallery, focuses on landscape art. The painting series is mysterious and unsettling as he chooses unexpected events to situate within typical European landscapes.

Medrar.TV visited Sabry in his studio in February as he worked on the paintings and discussed the Fifth District series which he started after doing commercial wall paintings in private homes in the Fifth Settlement neighborhood in Cairo. Sabry also discussed the Fifth District in relation to his earlier projects such as Rhino Story.

The interview is in Arabic and has English subtitles.
