FATHI HASSAN

BIOGRAPHY

was born in cairo in 1957 to Nubian and egyptian parents. Since graduating in 1984, he has lived in Edinburgh , and Le Marche, Italy. currently works between Italy and Great Britain.

in his drawings, paintings, sculptures and installations, Hassan experiments with the written and spoken word, exploring the theme of ancient languages erased by colonial domination. With invented, Kufic-inspired scripts, he plays with the symbols, textures and calligraphy of his Nubian heritage to explore the space between graphic symbolism and literal meaning in vibrant colours and collage.
