Invest in contemporary Arab art with this original signed lithograph by Egyptian artist Adel El-Siwi, published in 2008 by the prestigious Galerie Le Violon Bleu in Tunis for the landmark exhibition “Au-delà du visage” (Beyond the Face). Measuring 9.84 x 6.69 inches (25 x 17 cm), this expressionist portrait of a man captivates the eye with intense red pigments accented by black lines and a vibrant blue border—an aesthetic characteristic of modern figurative art from the Middle East and North Africa. The work engages masterfully with the Western modern tradition, evoking the influence of Amedeo Modigliani through the sculptural elongation of facial features, the slender nose, and the gaze’s melancholic intensity. Preserved in excellent condition, this unnumbered work on paper bears Adel El-Siwi’s authentic handwritten signature (“Siwi”) at the bottom right, offering collectors a rare opportunity to acquire a cabinet-sized masterpiece from an internationally renowned gallery.
