Farid Fadel: Din Egipt, picturi deosebite
EN: Described by some people as a true “Renaissance man,” Farid Fadel was born in 1958 in Assuit, Upper Egypt, into a family noted for both its musicians and its doctors. He has since excelled at medicine, art and music, taking all three gifts very seriously.
In art, he has held 34 solo exhibitions; in music, he has given several prominent recitals and concerts, and in medicine, he obtained his M.Sc. in Ophthalmology, and is presently working as a practicing eye doctor at the Memorial Institute of Ophthalmology, Giza.
In 1973, Dr. Fadel was awarded the Pope’s Medal and Vatican Award in an art contest with 50,000 participants worldwide. In 1975, on the inauguration of his fifth exhibition, the Egyptian Parliament granted him a trip to Italy to see Renaissance art, which had a strong influence on his style. He has taken part in several group shows, both in Egypt and abroad, such as the People’s Show in Portland, Maine, USA (1982), where he displayed fifteen portraits. His fourteenth solo Exhibition was held at the Egyptian Cultural Center, Mayfair, London, 1989 and his 16th show in the University of Toledo, Ohio, USA. In 2000, Dr. Fadel traveled with his exhibition “On Both Sides” to the USA where it was displayed in Ohio, Connecticut and Washington D.C.
Some of his portraits were used as covers for Egyptian magazines. One of his paintings was chosen for the brochure of 1988 Nobel Prize Winner, Naguib Mahfouz. Farid Fadel has completed the illustrations of a Children’s Bible with colored-plates that follow a Middle Eastern approach to the stories of the New Testament. The three volumes were published in 1991, 1993 and 1995 and were best sellers at the Cairo International Book Fair. Dr. Fadel participated in “the Call for Peace” group exhibition during the Gulf War in 1991. He has also participated in two benevolence exhibitions to support the earthquake victims in 1992. For 3 successive years he has participated in the exhibition “Physician as Artist” at Riverside Hospital, Toledo, OH and won the Blue Ribbon Prize in 1997. His interest in art theory culminated in the establishment of his “AIN” theory (Aesthetic Integrated Naturalism), which explains his particular views on a naturalistic approach to fine art in a post-modern context.
A manifesto was also published in 1997 during a lecture he gave at the Toledo Museum of Art, Ohio, entitled “Musicality in Art.” Dr. Fadel has studied violin for 8 years with Professor Adolph Menassa, and for the last 16 years has studied piano. He has given piano recitals in Egypt and the USA. He is also an accomplished baritone-tenor soloist.
RO: Descris de cateva persoane ca un adevarat "renascentist", Farid Fadel s-a nascut in 1958 in Assuit, Egiptul de nord, intr-o familie remarcata atat pentru inclinatiile muzicale cat si in medicina. El a excelat atat in medicina, arta si muzica, luand in serios toate aceste trei talente.
In arta a avut pana acum 34 de expozitii personale; in muzica a sustinut cateva recitale si concerte si in medicina a obtinut diploma de medic specialist in Oftalmologie iar in prezent lucreaza ca oftalmolog la Institutul Memorial de Oftalmologie din Giza.
In 1973 doctorului Fadel i-a fost inmanata medalia papala la un concurs de arta sustinut de Vatinan si la care au participat 50.000 de persoane din intreaga lume. In 1975, la inaugurarea celei de-a 5a expozitie, Parlamentul Egiptean i-a acordat o excursie in Italia pentru a vedea arta Renascentista, care are o puternica influenta asupra stilului sau de a picta. A facut parte din diferite prezentari de arta, atat in Egipt cat si peste hotare, ca de exemplu People’s Show in Portland, Maine, SUA (1982), unde a prezentat 15 portrete. A 14a expozitie personala a fost sustinuta la Centrul Cultural Egiptean, Mayfair, Londra(1989) si a 16a expozitie a fost la Universitatea din Toledo, Ohio, SUA. In 2000, dr. Fadel a calatorit cu expozitia sa "Pe ambele parti" in SUA unde a expus lucrarile sale in Ohio, Connecticut si Washington D.C.
Unele din portretele pictate de dansul au fost folosite pe copertele revistelr egiptene. Una din picturile sale a fost aleasa pentru brosura castigatorului premiului Nobel din 1988, Naguib Mahfouz si de asemenea a ilustrat Biblia pentru Copii. Dr. Fadel a participat cu lucrari in expozitia "Chemarea Pacii" care s-a tinut in timpul Razboiului din Golf, in 1991. A mai participat in 2 expozitii umanitare pentru a sustine campania pentru vistimele cutremurului din 1992. Trei ani consecutiv a participat la expozitia "Medic si Artist" din cadrul Spitalalului Riverside, Toledo si a castigat in 1997 Premiul Blue Ribbon. Interesul sau in teoria artei a culminat cu realizarea teoriei AIN (Aesthetic Integrated Naturalism - Estetica integrata in naturalism), care explica punctele sale de vedere in abordarea naturalista vis-a-vis de arta in context post-modernist.
Un manifest intitulat "Muzicalitatea in arta" a fost publicat in 1997 in timpul unei lecturi sustinute la Muzeul de arta din Toledo, Ohio. Dr. Fadel a studiat vioara 8 ani cu profesorul Adolph Menassa si in ultimii 16 ani a studiat pianul. A sustinut recitale la pian in Egipt si Statele Unite. De asemenea este un solist vocal, tenor, bariton.
