About the Item
"Favela I" Painting 17" x 20" inch by Mohamed Hussein
Born 1989, Mohamed Hussein is a Fayoum native whose semi-abstract landscape and urban vistas are captured with a cultured palette and compositional method that belies his young age. Hussein is inspired by the natural and metropolitan environments he has found himself surrounded by since birth, with Fayoum existing somewhere comfortably in between both of these divergent worlds, steeped in nature's bounties but almost threatening to become enveloped by the sprawling Cairo metropolis which it lies within close proximity to. Hussein uses a method of texturing which attributes his paintings a certain quality of depth and age, as he works in a multitude of hairline threads and lines that appear as natural cracks and creases in the paint.
Hussein's art is one that is predominantly landscape based, and his compositional method attributes the settings he captures a palpable living and organic character. Whether modest mud huts, city skyscrapers or the informal settlements and shanty towns that are so prevalent across the greater Cairo area, he infuses them with a rustic and beautified appeal. One of the preeminent characteristics of Hussein's painting is that he manages, with an unassuming yet cultured palette and composition, to transform the otherwise mundane or unappealing into something aesthetically pleasing in a way that transfixes our attention. His palette is tasteful in its choice and application as it is primarily conceived in subdued earthen tones; brown ochres, burnt and bright yellows, rusty maroons and sage greens to name but a few. They combine to create scenes that appear as much abstract as they are relatable and realistic in their makeup.
Hussein's burgeoning career in art has seen him participate in a handful of local art expositions, most importantly the Youth Salon in three editions in the years 2020, 2022 and 2023, as well as consecutive years of the Festival for Arab Youth in its second, third and fourth editions. He has also notably received a full scholarship grant from the Ministry of Culture despite not undergoing formal artistic training, a testament to his commendable potential and promise of his ongoing journey is art.

Cityscape, Acrylic on Canvas, Contemporary Indian Artist "In Stock"
By Fawad Tamakanat
Located in Kolkata, West Bengal
Fawad Tamakanat - Cityscape - 40 x 40 inches (unframed size)
Acrylic on Canvas.
Fawad Tamkanat, from Hyderabad participated with his slightly older works. One in which he is exploring the raging intrusion of technology in today's times. How digital images are influencing images, imagery and the traditional medium of painting. Portraying everyday activities like the work titled ‘Cafe House’ or exploring more serious concerns in his painting ‘Soldier’.
Style : To say that Fawad Tamkanat`s work is narrative is a gross understatement. Throughout his career as an artist, he has strived to develop and then perfect a visual vocabulary that he can use to communicate with his viewers. And this language, that he uses to take on peoples` minds, has nothing to do with society, religion or politics, but, quite blatantly, is all about his own personal fixations. Fixations that include those with time, and one`s place in the general scheme of things. Fawad was born in Hyderabad in 1962, to a family that already had artistic inclinations running through its veins. His father was the famous Urdu poet, Shaz Tamkanat.
Early in his career, Fawad was invited to participate in an installation workshop in Denmark where he also worked for a few months in the printmaking studios with renowned printmakers. He became very taken up with printmaking, and launched his professional exhibitions showing only monochromatic prints. Now Tamkanat experiments with several different media and surfaces, diversifying to include those like watercolours, acrylic, etching drypoint and tarpaulin in his oeuvre. Fawad has held twelve solo shows in India and abroad to his credit, and has participated in state, national and international exhibitions and group shows at major art centres.
