"Maternal" Wood Abstract Sculpture 18" x 7" in by Ibrahim Abd Elmalak
Maternal, 2005
Wood
45 x 18 cm, Signed
Dated
Sculptures that mostly depict his characteristic figures of feminine form and feeling – a central element to Abd Elmalak’s creative process – which he thoughtfully marries with symbolically complementary elements from nature or with the alluring concoctions of his imagination. Their fronts exude his romantic artistic language evident in his prose and poetry, as he was also a prolific writer, while their backs reveal a new composition of a different language and content, based on a concept of absolute abstraction. Bicar explains Abd Elmalak’s artistic duality as one in which the language of silence integrates with the language of dialogue to “create an unconventional moral unity that confirms its solidity and tenderness simultaneously.”

Abd Elmalak graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts Cairo in 1969 after which he completed his studies at the Italian Arts Academy of Rome in 1976-77. He featured in numerous solo exhibitions in Egypt and then abroad in many countries across Europe, Africa, and America. He was a press illustrator and art critic at the widely circulated Sabah El Kheir Magazine. He also served on the board of the Association of Fine Arts in Egypt as a chief consultant for decor at the Ministry of Information and the Egyptian Armed Forces from 1969 to 1976 and authored a book on one of Egypt’s greatest pioneers Salah Abdel Kerim (1925-1987) in 2001, under whose mentorship he studied while at university. Abd Elmalak’s diverse portfolio exemplifies not only his versatility but perhaps even more importantly his unique ability to blend the conventional and unconventional in thoughtful harmony, which esteemed Modernist and author Hussein Bicar (1913-2002) deemed a “highly intelligent duality between the kinetics of the universe and its stillness”.
