About Mohamed Elganoby

Al-Janoubi, the family name, and the description. He is an honest artist who was born in Southern Egypt on the 8th of January, 1965. His artworks have been characterized by spontaneity and authenticity. He has also cared about the relationship between one and nature. Although the development of his style towards modernism or the diversity of his visions of idea’s renovation, his identity remained. His participation and singularity have appeared since his graduation from the faculty of Art Education, Minya University in 1988, as he held his first gallery in Minya Culture Palace in the same year. His private exhibitions extended to more than 13: Hamraouine in 1989 and Smell and Memory in 1998. At that stage, He followed a new style, as spices were the hero of his artworks which created sensorial and inspirational dimensions depending on the smell of the essential oils used in the artworks. He held several exhibitions: Details in 2000, Defeat Numbers in 2001, The Conditions of the Southern in 2002, City Sounds in 2003, Nirvana in 2014, and Variations of the South in 2017. He was also affected by his readings in different fields, such as nature and the relationship between the city and human and life, as his artworks started to act as a visual embodiment of influential human writings. Hence, his exhibition Non-Visible Cities was inspired by one of Italo Cavilo’s writings.

Moreover, he took part in many group galleries and national events, such as the 4th National Port Said Biennale in 1998, the 11th Youth Salon in 1999, then 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Small Artworks Salons in 1999, 2000, 2002, and 2003, Sister, Palm exhibition in 2000, For the Sake of Jerusalem in 2000, Cairo Atelier salons in 2000 and 2001, Al-Nitaq Festival for Fine Arts in 2001, The One-Day Gallery in 2001, the 27th and 30th rounds National Gallery for Fine Art, Painting first salon (Black and White) at Gezira Art Gallery in 2004, two exhibitions called The Light of Shape at the Palace of Arts in 2004 and 2005, the 1st Fine Arts Market in 2007, Coal Density in 2016, and Me in 2015.

Al-Janoubi started from the deeper depths of nationality to the outmost horizon of internationality through the honest creativity, magnificent portrayal, and innovation, detection, and astonishment in evet step he takes and every environment he coexists. His artworks were criticized in several articles and were also included in a Ph.D. at Stanford University.

Moreover, he took part in many international exhibitions including International Book Shadow Biennale at Alexandria Library in 2005, One-Week Egyptian Culture in Bosnia and Herzegovina in2006, and Kazan Gallery in Tokyo, Japan in 2016.
Many of his holdings are in Egypt, Denmark, Japan, U.S.A, Kuwait, K.S.A, Italy, Lebanon, and many others. Besides, some of his researches are in international seminars that are parallel to youth salons 1997, 1998, and 1999.
