’s art is in its most distilled form, a rumination on the sanctity of family values and community bonds, he expresses his deep-rooted love for these qualities that color his native lands in the best way he knows how, by capturing its essence through his candid, at times almost charmingly naive, style of expressionism.

🐇 Happy Orthodox Easter to all observing faithful!

We hope that this Easter brings renewed hope and blessings and that all@enjoy a restful break over Sham El Nessim as we welcome the flowering of spring.

The Rabbit was an ancient symbol of fertility and the arrival of spring, which itself is the season that signifies rebirth and resurrection, and in it the embodiment, message and promise of Jesus Christ.

’s self-developed compositional technique of chemically-treated multimedia layering accentuates a myriad of aesthetic qualities that synergize to establish the finely-tuned visual archetype he is so beloved for, establishing a unique aesthetic of visual sedimentation, layering pigments like silt to create a “geology of the canvas.”

His latest collection ‘The Inner Nile’ thus denotes a visual exploration of the Egyptian landscape as a psychological and evolutionary construct. In this body of work, the Nile is no longer just a life-giving geographical artery, but a fluid state of consciousness that courses through the veins of the collective conscience and memory.

🫟 ‘The Inner Nile’ by Ibrahim Khatab open till 22/4.

In this body of work, the Nile is no longer just a life-giving geographical artery, but a fluid state of consciousness that courses through the veins of the collective conscience and memory.

By dissolving the boundaries between biological beings and the terrain, the exhibition proposes that we do not merely live beside the river or because of it, but that the river, with its ancient mud and timeless waters, flows eternally within us.

🫟 ‘The Inner Nile’ by Ibrahim Khatab opens April 1st.
