Shaaban Zaki Paintings

1899-1968
Shaaban Zaki came from a lower-middle-class family who was mostly government employees, but he was distinguished from them by being involved in the art and culture circles. He could not afford to study in art schools, so he studied at an art institute in Chicago by correspondence. A self-taught and self-made man, he became involved in the art scene and was able to distinguish himself during the early ’20s and ’40s among his colleagues. He contributed to the cultural life by writing articles and essays on the early education of art in primary schools. S. Zaki was able to leave for us a wide collection portraying the landscapes of Egypt whether it be Upper Egypt with its culture and monuments or Lower Egypt with its traditions. He was preoccupied with the different aspects beginning from the ordinary workmen to the great dignitaries of that time.

Garden Dibble
By John Morfis
Located in Sag Harbor, NY
An oil painting of an antique tool, a Garden Dibble, which is a long stick-like tool used to make holes for seeds, to make sure they are sufficiently buried in the soil without damage. This particular object that Morfis chose to paint has a wooden handle, and a metal point. The dibber rests atop a nail, against a gray wall. Bright studio-light casts a sharp shadow directly beneath the tool. Painted in the academic realist style of "trompe-l'oeil" which is French for "trickery of the eye". BIOGRAPHY John Morfis was born in Glen Cove, Long Island in 1976. His humble beginnings made pursuing a career in art difficult and paradoxically necessary. Fixated on making things aesthetically pleasing, John made an extreme departure from his family life when he chose to base his life on art. Surrounded by mechanics, welders, and otherwise trade workers John had a tough time expressing his interest in a world much more utilitarian and much less expressive and impractical. With an extraordinary desire to be an artist and a grant awarded, John was able to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a concentration in painting from the University of Hartford in 1998. While there John studied oil painting under American realist Stephen Brown. John’s first solo show took place in 2007 at the Ellen Traut Collection Gallery in Hartford, CT and was a near sell out. Since then John has had success up and down the northeastern coast of the United States working with various galleries and collectors. His work has also appeared in various group shows at the New Britain Museum of American Art in Connecticut. ARTIST STATEMENT Each painting, although a portrait of a tired hand...
