Literature
Egyptian-born artist Hany Armanious, best known for his sculptural work with casting. He was a key figure in Sydney’s grunge scene of the early 1990s, and in 2011 was Australia’s representative at the Venice Biennale.
One of the most persistent features of Armanious’s work has been his fascination with the process of casting. It has become the backbone of his inquiry, as both method and subject.
His work exploits our tendency to make links between things which resemble one another in form, material, function and process.
Armanious was born in Egypt and grew up in Australia, where he gained a Bachelor of Visual Arts from the City Art Institute, Sydney in 1984. He has exhibited widely throughout Australasia, Europe and United States over the past two decades.
