DESCRIPTION
Born in 1982, Mekhail graduated from Helwan Fine Arts Institute in 2004, after which he trained during 4 years under the tutelage of Egyptian pivotal artist, Adam Henein. Armed with outstanding craftsmanship and intensive training, Mekhail carved a distinctive and independent direction for himself, culminating in winning the 2011 Sculpture Award at the Ministry of Culture's Youth Salon. Mekhail’s passion for Egypt’s glorious past is prominent in his rich body of work. He manages to blend Pharaonic, Coptic and Greek lines onto his work. His forms are usually semi-abstractions of the human figure - suggestive celebration of the sensual female body or icons of our proud Egyptian Coptic and Muslim heritage. As we struggle about our Egyptian identity, Maged Mekhail gently reminds us of what we stand for - a diverse, rich and tolerant people who have shaped the past and are able to embrace the future.TRANSCRIPT
