About the Item

"Dune" Watercolor on Paper Painting 10" x 12" in (1977) by Inji Efflatoun signed & dated Inji Eflatoun pursued free studies in art. Since 1942, she has participated in the exhibitions of the Avant grade "Art and Freedom Group". This was the first society that attempted to free modern Egyptian art from the bonds of academism and formalism prevailing then. In March 1952, she had her first one-person exhibition in Cairo and since then, she held 28 solo shows in Egypt and abroad. She has exhibited in Rome in 1967, at the "Paese Nove" gallery, in Paris at the "Galerie de l’Universite" in Dresden, East Germany, Warsaw, Poland, Moscow, and Prague. She held a one-person show in 1979, in New Delhi, India, in 1981 at the Egyptian Academy in Rome, and in 1988 in Kuwait. She has also participated in group exhibitions such as the Biennale of Sao Paolo in 1953, the Biennale of Venice in 1968, and the Contemporary Egyptian Art exhibition in Paris in 1971. In 1975, Mrs. Eflatoun helped organize the "Ten Egyptian Woman Artist in half a Century" exhibition, held in Cairo on the occasion of the International year for woman, and in which she took part. In 1976 she was in charge of the Egyptian Pavillion at the 87th "Salon des Independants" in Paris, in the Grand Palais. The artist’s works were acquired by the Modern art Museum in Cairo, in Alexandria, and in Dresden, the National Museum in Warsaw and by the Oriental Museum in Sophia, the Pushkin Museum in Sophia, the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, the Italian Deputies Council and by private collectors in Egypt and abroad. In 1986, she was awarded by the French Ministry of Culture a medal of merit called "Cavalier of the Arts and Literature". Inji Eflatoun died in 1989.

  • Specifically Nowhere, Yellow (Abstract Geometric Painting with Grids on Yellow)
    By Donise English
    Located in Hudson, NY
    Large abstract geometric painting with intricate line work in pencil and gouache on a bright yellow background "Specifically, Nowhere (Yellow)" made by Hudson Valley artist, Donise English, in 2022 gouache, acrylic, pencil, and colored pencil on paper, mounted on panel 48 x 48 inches unframed, 50 x 50 inches with a dark brown stained wood floater frame Surface is protected with four coats of an archival UV protective varnish Signed, verso Excellent condition and ready to hang This large abstract geometric painting was made by Hudson Valley based artist, Donise English, in 2022. The composition begins with a bright yellow background overlaid with intricate line work in graphite and colored pencil. Thousands of hand drawn lines serve as a backdrop for a bold geometric form in a dusty violet and dark gray gridded pattern that references "an imagined city grid", says the artist. The painting on paper is mounted to wood panel and complemented with a dark stained wood floater frame. It's in excellent condition and ready to hang as is. The surface is protected with four coats of an archival UV protective varnish. More about the work: Donise English emphasizes lines, grids, and fields of subtle color to evoke imagined places and invented structures. While precise lines and straight angles are often associated with themes in architecture and urban planning designs, English conveys a geometric motif guided by intuition rather than a ruler. Variations on grids retain flaws and unmistakable traces of the artists’ hand; her style of draftsmanship shies away from intellectualism and instead makes her compositions feel very personal. Each design is intensely intricate, incorporating gouache, acrylic, pen, graphite, ink and colored pencil. Artist Statement: My work is about the way visual diagrams present information that describes how something is made or the way it is. I am interested in drawing and collaging multiple layers of information that refer abstractly to maps, architectural drawings and blueprints or patterns and structures found in such things as roller coasters, power lines and fences. I use gouache and collaged paper in a series of layers that are a visual and ideological response to the previous layer to define my pictorial space. For each piece I create a set of rules to follow about the use of a limited palette, a grid format, opacity of paper and whether a piece may include curving lines or maintain a rectilinear structure.
