2020 was a black-swan year. Embracing the new normal that 2020 has imposed has been exceptionally tough; a heavy year for the entire world. Luckily social media keeps us connected with art and creativity. And artists keep producing great work throughout the year. Thankfully, art exhibitions returned in the second half of the year. Full of creativity,love and friendship, while respecting social distancing, art allows us to feel really alive. So I am happy to share with you the top 10 Egyptian artworks I fell in love with in 2020.
| Acrylic on canvas | 160x140cm | Hany Rashed
This specific piece from 90 days in the Studio Art Exhibition jolted my senses. Rashed’s style and ability to connect the disconnected will haunt you. This artwork is a flawless embodiment of dichotomy; here’s a policeman figure and destroyed green leaves that create a juxtaposition between growth and confinement, speed and stillness, public and private, in a time of forced alienation and isolation inside a room.
