Approximately forty works from Ghada Amer’s new exhibition (Cairo 1963) are on display at MACRO.
Paintings on canvas and drawings on paper as well as installations characterised by embroidery with coloured threads, a favourite stylistic trait of the Egyptian artist, who has always used the needle and thread as artistic tools. A selection of works covering twenty years of an artistic career, divided into four main themes: reflections on words and writing, works inspired by the female condition, eroticism, and drawing explored from various angles.
