Chant Avedissian: Cairo Stencils |
| Rose Issa |
| Saqi Books, 2006, paperback, 134 pp. |
| In his colorful stenciled images, Chant Avedissian deftly explores the boundaries between "high" and "low" art, politics and pop. Avedissian refined his techniques in Western art schools, but draws inspiration from Egypt's modern Golden Age, with its glamorous divas and mustachioed movie stars. His iconic figures include legendary singers Om Kulthoum and Asmahan; screen sirens Shadia and Hind Rostom; heartthrobs Farid al-Atrash and Abdel Halim Hafez; and once-adored statesmen like Gamal Abdel Nasser. A stunning visual tour of Egypt's historic pop culture. |
