Khaled Hafez (Egyptian, b. 1963)

'I link imagery of the ancient iconography with deja-vu contemporary elements, hence the use of Anubis (God of the underworld) and Batman, Bastet (Goddess of domestication) and Cat-woman; the icons are manipulated to insinuate metamorphosis; I believe that we are at a point in history where there is cultural recycling: visual, conceptual, beliefs among other aspects.' (Khaled Hafez)

Works by Hafez are in the Saatchi Collection, London, UK, the Muhka Museum of Contemporary Art, Antwerp, Belgium, Ars Aevi Museum of Contemporary Art, Sarajevo, Bosnia and the Mali National Museum, Bamako, Mali.
