Ghada Embarek Solo Exhibition
‎"وش مرايا Wesh Maraya" (Double Faced)
Opening Sunday 27 November at 4pm
at Luxor Art Gallery

Reducing the figure to essential form, with colors extracted from the depths of her idiosyncratic vision, Ghada Embarek’s artworks deduct distractions down to essence. Her new collection "وش مراي Wesh Maraya" (Double Faced) features portraits of her fellow Egyptians from a "mirrored" perspective, the inside out, recognition versus dissimulation, nature reflecting soul. Who are we? What are we? Beyond flesh and blood, Ghada delves deep into an interior philosophy that unites us all, seeking the bonding secrets of our humanity. Based in Cairo with family roots in Qena, Ghada was influenced by her world travels early in her artistic career, living in Japan and Singapore. She returned to her home country of Egypt with an enlightend vision that has enriched her fascinating exploration throughout her art. Her paintings, watercolors, and sketches illuminate the auras and mysteries of life, creating peculiar shapes we all can perceive and recognize and feel. —D.N.

Izabela Uchman Solo Exhibition

"Caryatides كارياتيدات"

(Females Supporting the Universe)

Luxor Art Gallery is so pleased to present the gorgeous and ingenious calligraphic artworks of Izabela Uchman. The study of Islamic calligraphy is its own remarkable history, and Arabic text has never been mere print on a page. Letters and words unravel, come to life, and are liberated into the world like ribbons in the wind. And yet the messages remain. Taking inspiration from artwork made from passages in the Quran and other traditions, Izabela brings to life quotes and poems that are both personal to her and deeply sentimental, spinning the text into imagery to recreate the meanings at the heart of the words. Her feminine identity, and her relationship with mixed cultures and breaking borders creates messages for all humanity and are simply timeless. —D.N.

Their photographs express glimmers of joy, dignity, and pride emerging from shadows and struggles. Through their images, Humans of Upper Egypt hopes to convey the soul of a people whose deeply rooted culture and depth of spirit truly make them unique as the children of Oum El Donia, the Mother of the World: Egypt.

“9 years ago today, I had a life changing moment in Egypt that was impossible to ignore, so it seems especially fortuitous that today Luxor Art Gallery was featured on National Egyptian Television. Despite my terrible anxiety to be in front of a camera, I hope my enthusiasm and exhausting efforts comes through, to give back to Egypt by supporting a little known art community in Luxor and help present them to an international audience. It's about the incredible artists and a unique community that supports one another to rise above all the challenges we face in the world, whether it is a revolution or a pandemic. By supporting the arts and supporting one another, our entire community grows, locally and globally, our friendships are empowered, and everyone thrives together.” —Dominique Navarro, 4 July 2020

Soul to Soul روح الى روح
Alaa Aboelhamd & Brian Flynn Exhibition
Opening 20 October, Sunday 6pm
at Luxor Art Gallery

Two of Luxor Art Gallery's favorite artists go "Soul to Soul" for this unique exhibition in anticipation of Opera Aida in Luxor.

Alaa Aboelhamd is an elusive, intriguing artist. Like déjà vu, his paintings feel familiar, yet they are rare to encounter and mystifying to experience. A significant, potent painter whose works speaks boldly of the past and the present, Alaa brings a sensibility and benevolence to all his portraits of Egyptian men and women: ethereal beings who are both vulnerable flesh and eternal souls, tied to their histories yet ever living for the future. There is simply a timelessness to his paintings. They are sublime works of art, full of grace, heritage, and hope. We are honored to exhibit his work at Luxor Art Gallery.

Ever a journey, both for the artist and his audience, the artwork of Brian Flynn never ceases to explore fantastic realms and spiritual visions. Using a luminous color palette including gold and silver leaf, he immerses us into palpable, intimate moments between beings, and lush environments that feel like galaxies moving, metal melting, and roots burrowing. Ceaselessly prolific, Brian’s still lifes, landscapes, and especially his figurative compositions are poignant and divine. With his studio in Luxor for over a decade, Brian has found reverie and inspiration in the rural life of the West Bank.
