Nada Baraka Email & Phone Number

Born in Cairo in 1990, Nada Baraka is a Visual Artist with BA in Visual Arts from The American University in Cairo, 2011 and an MA in Fine Arts from Central Saint Martins, London, 2014. Baraka held her recent solo exhibition Land of sequels at Cairo’s Gypsum Gallery in 2021. Her work was shown in several group exhibitions internationally in Paris, Cairo, Lisbon, London and New York City, and in Cairowhere she is based.Baraka’s works are an illustration of her subjective relationship with physical surroundings. A spontaneous process is key to the deconstruction and building of her absurdist narratives. The elements are constantly evolving and transitioning; a splash would manifest into an animal and shadows change into other live forms during the course of a painting. The setting, inspired by old local comics, is cross-sectional, offering the simultaneous depth and flatness of representational space. Baraka resorts to depicting escapism and the flamboyance of interiors in the face of exterior calamity and anxiety. Toying with the combination of a surreal universe with real forms, elements and spaces, the work echoes an existential farce.Solo Exhibitions:2021- Land of sequels, Gypsum gallery, Cairo.2019- Cosmic truth and tales to be told, Gypsum gallery, Cairo.2015- Fractals, Mashrabia gallery, Cairo.
