The Past is ALive
Sept. 20th Until Oct. 10th, 2025
Farouk Shehata’s exhibition invites us on a journey through the depths of human experience and the landscapes that define our collective memory, unfolding a profound dialogue between form, remembrance, and the enduring spirit of resilience.
Through his command of diverse printmaking techniques—from lithography to woodcuts—Shehata crafts visual narratives that move gracefully between the poetic and the tragic.
In his landscapes, the interplay of light and movement evokes the timeless conversation between nature and existence, while his human figures—etched with bold lines and charged expressions—embody endurance, suffering, and unyielding inner strength. Each work captures not only fleeting moments but also raw, unfiltered emotion inscribed in faces and gestures, creating images that resonate with silence, struggle, and transcendence.
These artworks emerge as voices of survival, carrying both the weight of history and the intimacy of lived experience.
More than an exhibition, this body of work presents a distinct visual language that invites viewers to reflect on the universal themes of fragility and strength that define our shared humanity.
