Riassunto

A descendant of the most ancient population of the banks of the Nile, Adam Henein has every right to lay claim to the heritage of pharaonic Egypt. The fact that he is a repository of this legacy in no way impairs the modernity of his artistic expression and the freedom in the choice of his themes, which mix noble subjects with familiar ones. But this freedom, which is that of an accomplished artist, is also a reference to the past. Beneath the deliberate simplicity of the lines lies ancient Egypt, which he translates with the same elegance and same force, whether the images are of pharaohs or of everyday objects; it can also be found under the density of the materials chosengranite, bronze, sandstone, plaster, slate or woodgiving the most massive forms the lightness of a bird.
