About the Item
"Sisters of the Wind" Wall Sculpture 25" x 36" inch by Ibrahim Abd Elmalak
Fiberglass
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”.

- 'Femme Assise'. Large Mixed-media Montage on Board.By Armand AvrilLocated in Cotignac, FRImposing and very large scale mixed media 'assemblage' by French artist Armand Avril. The work includes the French tricolour flag colours, his symbolic cat sculptures and a highly colourful geometric image of the artist's mother sitting in a chair. The work is signed and dated to the reverse and comes with a certificate of authenticity from the gallery. This montage fully demonstrates Avril's geometric period whilst also expressing the humour and joy that he puts into all his work. A very strong sculptural image and a feast for the eyes in searching for and recognising the everyday objects used in making this piece come alive. This montage is made from wood pieces, plywood, oil paint, acrylic, bottle top and nails . The more sculpted areas of the piece stand out up to 3cm from the frame. Armand Avril was born in 1926 in Lyon. His father, Marcel Avril was a painter and collector of African art. At 16 Armand became an apprentice shepherd in Provence. Avril could always be seen equipped with a sketchbook and a book on the history of art whilst tending his flock. It was not until the age of 30, in 1956, that Armand embarked on painting as an autodidact, influenced by Raoul Dufy, Pierre Bonnard, Henri Matisse and the Lyonnaise School of Painting. He exhibited for the first time in 1957. In 1960, he left for a one-year trip to Africa. There he met the painter Jean Arène who introduced him to the village of Cotignac in the Var and to Louis Pons...Category
