| Essays |
| |
-Works of Abdul Wahab Morsy represents a distinguished epic in the contemporary fine movement for more than 40 years.
-As a creative artist, he was inspired by the Egyptian art that lived in his fantasy, and was subdued according to his vision and subjective style which is based on firm basis of academic principles and values whether in his color processing that shows the musical relations on the painting, or in the formations of the artistic work that is well structured. In his style he concentrates on the two dimensions only, for he uses ambiguous embodiment which is affirmed by his richness of creation and ability of expression through aesthetic values, romantic feelings, sensibility and richness of touch, and him being affected by the spirit of ancient Egyptian art.
Hence his works are evidences on an artist who was able to solve with himself a local Egyptian equation and inspired by the roots maintaining the vividness of his works, shiny colors and formations, and his ability to motivate aesthetic emotions in the receiver.
Critic/ Kamal Gweily
Civilization is Egypt all through history periods
-Abdul Wahab Morsy uses colors in drilling or painting which reflect a charming mixture with the heritage and the past even if the phases were different.
-In his paintings and colors you see Egypt with its great history whether pharaonic
or Islamic. His fantasy combines between the present and past through mixing writing characters with animal figures and birds before mankind which transfers you in a second to the past with the present; it is an inherited artistic bridge.
-The art of Abdul Wahab reflects a fusion of art with all its history in his paintings that are a pure Egyptian Intellectual heritage.
