For 154 Art fair in partnership with Ubuntu art gallery, a series of five hand-appliquéd and embroidered tapestries where exhibited depicting a trippy voyage in Egypt, a nod to British painter David Hockney’s sketches of the country in 1963.

The tapestries features vibrant colors and intricate details that transport the viewer into a surreal world of psychedelic movements and swirling shapes.

The pieces capture the essence of Hockney, blending his love for color, a fascination with the natural world and the presence of this anonymous silhouette in traditional galabeya found in each compositions.

This stranger is lost in the immensity of the cohabiting Egyptian heritage not without anachronisms and sometimes violent contrasts accentuated by a booming urbanism and intrusive elements resulting from globalization.
