About the work

Three stylised figures gather around a yellow table adorned with miniature tree-like forms and a small plate of fruit, rendered in rich earthy tones of ochre, brown, and green. The textured, layered surface and loosely abstracted forms give the scene a warm, dreamlike quality suggestive of a familial or ceremonial moment.

Clay Kassem

Egypt, b. 1977

Klay Mohamed Abdel Aziz Kassem, born in Alexandria in 1977, is an Egyptian artist renowned for his contemporary abstract expressionist paintings that intricately weave elements of Egyptian culture with modern artistic techniques. He earned his Bachelor's degree in 2000, followed by a Master's in 2008 and a PhD in 2013 from the University of Alexandria, focusing on the influence of ancient Egyptian art on contemporary practices.

Kassem's work has been showcased in numerous solo and group exhibitions both nationally and internationally, including venues in Muscat, India, Paris, Alexandria, Luxor, and Sharm El Sheikh. Notable exhibitions include "Tales of Scheherazade" at TAM Gallery in 2021, where he drew inspiration from the classic "One Thousand and One Nights," and "Kon" at TAM Gallery in 2023, which featured 50 pieces reflecting diverse human experiences. His accolades encompass eight national art awards, such as the First Prize at the Nagy Salon in 1999 and the Grand Prize in Painting at the Port Said Biennale in 2011. His artworks are part of permanent collections at institutions like the Museum of Fine Arts in Helwan, the Contemporary Arts Museum in Luxor, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Culture in Cairo.

Kassem's paintings are characterized by vibrant color palettes and streamlined forms that incorporate motifs from ancient Egyptian culture, offering a modernist perspective on Egypt's rich artistic heritage. His pieces often explore themes of identity, heritage, and contemporary societal issues, making his work a significant contribution to the Egyptian art scene.

Acrylic

A fast-drying, water-based paint developed in the twentieth century. Versatile and vivid, it can mimic oil or watercolor and suits bold, flat color — a favourite of many contemporary artists across the region.

Expressionism

Art that prioritizes emotion and inner experience over realistic depiction, using distortion, bold color, and energetic mark-making. In the region it gave modern artists a language for memory, displacement, and identity.
