Final Entries to the Amr Rakha Exhibition for 2006

Since I am nont in a very happy mood, I will include these late entries without comment. The facial portrait is the work of Tamer Adel my long-time protege, and the second belongs to Noha the ex-executive manager of my company Expressions.

This concludes the exhibition - see you next year!

The Rest of the Gang

Although not a distinct submission to the Exhibition, this expansion on the "Managing Gawab" theme was a necessary addition to the current collection:

Getting more interesting by the minute!

And the Entries Keep Pouring In

Seems like I've opened up Pandora's Box! More and more entries to the "Amr in the Eyes of Others" Exhibition. What is most interesting about these entries is the stark contrast between the perceptions, evidence of a long-suspected multiple personality disorder residing within the psyche of Amr Rakha.

The latest entries are quite contrasting, so I decided to exhibit them side by side:

On the top is another entry by Mr. Yaqeen Husam, who postulates a resemblance between Amr Rakha and Zakaria Moussaoui, convicted 9/11 terrorist. I am not sure if I agree with the physical resemblance, but the metaphorical insinuation is outrageous. To the bottom stands the contrast to Mr. Husam's atrocious submission, Mrs. Nesrine Samara's depiction of Amr. The teddy bear rendering, also in Word Art, is more towards Amr's true nature (or so he likes to think).

Keep them coming!

Addendum to the "Amr in the Eyes of Others" Exhibition

On basis of popular demand, I am now entertaining the request of other amateur artists who would like to participate in the exhibition with late entries. If you would like to participate, please send to arakha@gawab.com. The pre-requisite is that you must already know me - in any sense of the word.

This is the latest entry, submitted by Mr. Kareem Nasser, one of Amr Rakha's long-time friends. Currently residing in Belgium, Mr. Nasser's memories of Amr are well exhibited by his chosen artistic representation:

The First International "Amr in the Eyes of Others" Gallery - June 2006

I am proud to announce the first "Amr in the Eyes of Others" Picture Gallery. I am intrigued by the fact that I have provided interesting material for amateur artists of different schools to depict me. The purpose of this exhibition is not to commemorate me, but to applaud the efforts of the many who have attempted to poke fun at me using art as their weapon.

Here We Go!

Amr and the Freemasons

This depiction of Amr Rakha, circa 2000, attempts to address the possibility of my being part of some freemason order (because I say so much nonesense) by revealing my freemason ID card.

The Circles

A recurring theme in Amr Rakha art, this 2000 Microsoft-Word art rendering of Amr Rakha focuses on the circular aspects of his physique.
















Rounded Slopes

This 2005 caricature by amateur comic artist Mohamed Mohie focuses on frontal upper-abdominal curvatures, which were (and somewhat still remain) one of the most prominent aspects of Amr Rakha's physique.














Amr in the Eyes of Expressions

Developed in Micrsoft Word Art by Expressions' Art team, this depiction of Amr Rakha is tell-tale of the management style applied in his own company, Expressions.














Experimental Photography

This 2006 photograph taken by Mr. Yaqeen Husam, one of Amr Rakha's close friends, depicts what Mr. Husam finds most interesting about Amr Rakha's character.


Managing Gawab

This most recent 2006 depiction captured by Mr. Ibrahim Khalil, staff member working under Amr Rakha's management at Gawab, provides a contrast to the previous rendering of Expressions' staff, tell-tale of a varied management style applied at Gawab.


Remains only one hand-drawn portrait to be added to the collection, but this is more or less it! Please vote for the one you like the most and tell me if you agree with my perception of others' perceptions!
