Hany Armanious (born 1962) is an Egyptian born, Australian artist who lives and works in Sydney. [1] Armanious produces installations and sculptural forms, as well as paintings and drawings.
Hany Armanious was born in Ismailia, Egypt and migrated to Australia with his family at the age of 6. [2] He completed his schooling in Australia and holds a Bachelor of Arts (Visual Arts) degree from the City Art Institute, Sydney [3] and a doctorate in Creative Arts from the University of Wollongong. [4] ) Since 2019 he has been Head of Sculpture at the National Art School in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. [5] In the early nineties Armanious considered a ‘key figure’ in a number of artists who critics noted as being influenced by the grunge movement. [6] Although born in Egypt and conscious of its cultural ties Armanious’s work does not specifically reference that culture. [7] He has been described as an artist who can 're-describe objects' using ‘poor materials’. [8] As his practice has developed Armanious has achieved this goal through making moulds of ordinary objects and replicating them as parts of completed works. As Armonious has himself said, ‘…my interest in casting partly grew from a technique in my painting that utilized contact prints. Casting is like three-dimensional printmaking.“ [9]
Armanious has shown with a number of dealer galleries and currently exhibits with Michael Lett in Auckland, Fine Arts, Sydney and Southard Reid in London. He has also shown with Foxy Production in New York, Sarah Cottier Gallery and Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery in Sydney, Galleria Raucci/Santamaria, Naples and the Galerie Allen in Paris.
