e           Private Preview: Tuesday, June 17 at 7:30 PM The exhibition runs through 22 July, 2008       A life-long resident of Cairo, 33 year old Hani Rashed trained at fellow Egyptian artist Mohamed Abla’s atelier for a decade before venturing off on his own creative path in 2004. Rashed brings an Egyptian sensibility to the traditionally American domain of pop culture. His innocent-looking style captures as disoriented contemporary universe - a place where faceless human figures repeat the movements of the everyday - offering keen yet candid observations of the social issues that confront modern Egyptians. These mixed-media works juxtapose magazine cut-outs and painted planes on long wooden panels and roughly cut cardboard shapes. They record the cross-cultural exchange and urban rhythm of one of the world's largest cities.       Press release   Contact B21 Gallery Opening hours: Sat.- Thur. 10 am-7pm St. 6a, Al Quoz 1, Dubai, UAE info@b21gallery.com   1 a
