A visual paradox
In this exhibition, Farouk Hosny is returning to the “Collage”
technique, which is an artistic approach he practised in the eighties of
the previous century, which consists of adding a photography element
that seems as a puzzling block in the painting. This visual block is

creates a strange paradox in the heart of the abstract space, especially
when it represents fragmented from a specific realistic form, as it
creates an imbalance in its abstract system by adding a photographic

contradiction between pure abstraction and photography. The synergy
between the colors and shape and the collage introduces the recipient
