Moataz Nasr

Moataz Nasr is a versatile artist who employs painting, sculpture, photography and video in order to create installations which allow the viewer a great freedom to explore.  His work borrows deeply from his native Egypt. He endeavours to describe a universal phenomenon which impacts people all over the world, wherever they come from: the spread of such afflictions as solitude, impotence against the changes which are rushing ahead, to an acute feeling of abandonment.
The artist, by an elegant and poetic approach really takes up the position as an observer of the far-reaching transformations which are affecting the contemporary world, and his numerous references to traditional culture only serve to underline these issues.
