Description
Medhat Nasr is a visual artist born in Alexandria, Egypt in 1948, working with diverse media such as etchings, drawings, monoprints, woodcuts, and watercolours. He holds a PhD in printed design, awarded in 1983.
Active since the 1960s, Nasr’s works are powerful archives of social life, where abstraction and juxtaposition are strong techniques that traverse different materialities and subject matters. A beautiful progression can be found in his practice throughout the decades, as the more realist approach to landscape, portraiture, and daily life of his youth evolves into progressively more abstracted human figures, and spaces, evocative of notions of collectivity and struggle.
Nasr’s works are part of important private collections in countries such as Egypt, Germany, Italy, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Sweden. In the 1980s, he was a three-time awardee of the First Prize in Engraving at the Alexandria International Biennial Awards. He has exhibited works in both solo and group exhibitions in Cairo, London, Rome, and Venice.
