Their Influence Lives On: Honoring the Late Artists at the 45th General Exhibition
Some absence does not mean departure. There are those whose influence remains present, silently, in every corner, in every work, in the shadow of a painting, in an indelible trace. At this year's General Exhibition of Fine Arts, those who have passed away have not been forgotten. Those who have been taken by their absence this year, since the end of the previous edition, have not been forgotten, but they have not truly left the scene. They have remained there, with their works, their accomplishments, and their special mark on the course of Egyptian art.
This is not a celebration, but rather a simple, clear, and sincere gesture. A remembrance of the paths of artists we have lost, whose presence has remained influential in the scene. The deceased artists:
- Artist Mahfouz Salib
- Artist Kamal Khalifa
- Artist Mustafa El Feki
- Artist Esmat Dawustash
- Artist Helmy El Touni
- Artist Mamdouh El Kouk
- Artist Ehab Lotfy
- Artist Nabil Metwally
- Artist Vahan Talbyan
- Artist Yasser Rostom
- Artist Ibrahim Abdel Moghni
- Artist Khaled Farouk
The general exhibition's attention to them is an acknowledgement that the artistic journey is not built solely on immediate presence, but rather on accumulated efforts and on the clear imprint left behind that deserves appreciation even after absence.
