Sydney-based artist Hany Armanious creates off-kilter assemblages by playfully harnessing the mysteries already inherent in process, form and matter.
Hany Armanious / Artist biography
Armanious frequently utilises the process of casting to reconsider interrelationships between likeness, resemblance, material and function. These often digressive investigations are frequently imbued with an oblique form of mysticism. Armanious’s fake artifacts evoke both playful analogies and metaphysical problems that ultimately remain unresolved.
