Sabry Mansour
Sabry Mansour was born in 1943. He received his Bachelor of Arts from the Faculty of Fine Arts at Helwan University in 1964.
He was on the board of Egypt’s Syndicate of Fine Artists. In 1989, he was the head of the department of painting at his alma institution, Since the 1970s, Mansour has held solo exhibits in Alexandria and Cairo, before receiving international exposure through group exhibitions in Spain, Italy, Syria, the United Kingdom, France, and Kuwait. The world of Mansour combines aspects of Egyptian myth and rural landscape into an imagined nocturnal setting marked by a near-absolute monotone palette consisting primarily of continuous blue tones.
Mansour won the acquisitions prize at the 1971 Alexandria Biennale and the first prize at the 1985 Kuwait Biennale, in addition to a number of local honors, including the painting award at the 1982 Annual Exhibition of Fine Arts. His works can be found in private collections across the globe, as well as in a number of national collections, such as the Museum of Modern Egyptian Art, the Museum of the Faculty of Fine Arts, the Opera House Museum, and the Alexandria Museum of Fine Arts. His works were also acquired by the Qatar Museum of Fine Arts.
