On the occasion of the publication of the late Egyptian pioneer artist Hamed Abdalla’s comprehensive monograph, Agial Art Gallery would like to invite you to a book signing by author Roula El Zein in the presence of Samir Hamed Abdalla. A selection of works on paper from the artist’s estate will be on display, tracing the evolution of his art over the course of his life, from Cairo to Paris, Copenhagen, Damascus and Beirut.
Abdalla was born in Cairo in 1917 and died in Paris in 1985. “My main principle- like the oriental artist- is to paint nature as I see it with my mind, not as it looks to the eye.” — Hamed Abdalla
Opening: Tuesday, February 25, 2014 at 6:00 p.m.
