The Fencers 2016

"The Fencers" (2016) by Alaa Awad is a vibrant and expressive painting depicting a group of horsemen. The figures are rendered in bold strokes and a limited color palette, primarily blues, oranges, and browns, creating a sense of movement and energy. The artist's signature style is evident in the simplified forms and gestural brushwork, adding a contemporary feel to this traditional subject. Awad's work often explores themes of identity and culture, particularly within the context of his native Egypt.
