Over the past dozen years Hany Rashed has produced an extremely original body of work. Using the technique of monotype on black-and-white and colour, he produces sketches compounded of allusions to classic oriental imagery as well as a more personal inspiration, conjuring up interior spaces and tormented visions of people and society.
In a recent series of collages on paperboard he expresses his penetrating and often humorous comments on the political and social problems burdening Egypt and the world as seen and reported by the media.
His black-and-white paintings, finally, evoke the movement and rhythms of urban life in one of the world’s largest cities, standing in contrast to close-ups of isolated individuals or groups engaged in some public or private activity.
