About the work

A group of men in traditional Egyptian dress crowd the doorway of a numbered train carriage, their figures rendered with bold, loose brushwork and vivid colour. Paint drips trail down the canvas, blurring the boundary between scene and surface and lending the composition a raw, contemporary energy.

About the artist

Mohamed Eltohamy — Mixed media on paper , 29 × 29 cm (representative image)
Mohamed ElTohamy

Egypt

Mohamed Eltohamy, born in 1938, was a prominent Egyptian artist renowned for his contributions to children's literature and illustration. After earning his bachelor's degree in painting from the Faculty of Fine Arts in 1962, he dedicated his career to enriching visual storytelling for young audiences. Eltohamy played a pivotal role in shaping the visual identity of esteemed publications such as "Samir" and "Mickey" magazines, leaving an indelible mark on Egyptian children's media. In 1976, he co-founded "Bassem" magazine, further cementing his influence in the field. His artistic endeavors extended to illustrating the "Stories of the Prophets" series for Dar Al-Ghad Al-Arabi, showcasing his versatility and commitment to cultural education. 

Eltohamy's excellence in illustration garnered international recognition. Notably, Walt Disney honored him in the 1960s for his precise renditions of Mickey Mouse, a testament to his technical skill and attention to detail. His work was also featured in significant exhibitions, including the inaugural Press Drawings Exhibition at the Palace of Arts in 1994 and the Children's Artistic Creations Festival in 1995. These platforms highlighted his contributions to visual arts and his dedication to engaging young minds through art. 

Eltohamy's legacy continues to be celebrated posthumously. In March 2024, the National Center for Children's Culture honored his artistic journey during the "Welcome Ramadan" nights at the Children's Cultural Park. This event underscored his enduring impact on Egyptian art and culture, reflecting the profound respect and admiration he commands within the artistic community.
