Synchronizing Light and Shadow: Ibrahim ElDessouki

Hafez Gallery is proud to present Egyptian artist Ibrahim El Dessouki’s first solo exhibition in Saudi Arabia.  The exhibition will be showing a range of works from across the artist’s most seminal series. A trailblazer in the world of Egyptian contemporary painting, El Dessouki is renowned for his personal and unique style using the time-honoured medium of oil painting, a style that together with his distinctive choice of subject, consummately encapsulates the spirit of modern day Egypt, but also, draws from the echoes of its rich cultural past.  El Dessouki successfully treads that precarious thin line, neither completely conforming to tradition, nor completely rebelling against it.
