DOTS 2020 – Art D’Egypte

Art D’Égypte has organised two art and cultural exhibitions in Downtown Cairo, on 18-20 November 2020, entitled “Eternal Light II” and “Dots”.

The exhibitions were held on the sidelines of the Art D’Égypte’s fourth annual “Forever Is Now” cross-cultural exhibition, which was scheduled to open in October 2021 at the Giza Pyramids. 

Concepts relating to deformation and reformation have remained invariably significant in the contemporary art field through unique explorations of color and form and different mediums and techniques. Artists investigate their own visual languages and interpretations, set against an everchanging societal backdrop. A sublimity and an indescribable paradox emerge from each assortment of systems and constructions, the form leads to formlessness and then back to form yet again, ever transforming. The captured structures create slight optical effects that evoke the sensation of movement.

Each artist in this exhibition showcased an overview of their individual perspective, but when the artworks are seen together as part of the group exhibition, the similarities found in their creations presented part of the shared creative expression of Egypt’s contemporary art sector today.

The two exhibitions showcased contemporary artworks by Egyptian artists, with the first exhibition, “Dots”, displaying artworks with a visual impact. The exhibits create a sense of motion for 13 contemporary Egyptian artists, including Youssef Ragheb, Adel Rahoumi, Mohamed Abul Naga,  Dina Gerdini, and Ibrahim El-Fishawy.
