GAZBIA SIRRY (1925, CAIRO - 2021, CAIRO) UNTITLED, ACRYLIC ON PAPER A vivid and expressive acrylic composition on paper by the celebrated Egyptian modernist Gazbia Sirry. Executed in a richly saturated palette, the work presents a dynamic arrangement of gestural forms and layered colour fields, dominated by vibrant yellows, oranges, greens, and turquoise tones. The composition is structured vertically, with energetic brushstrokes and sweeping lines creating a sense of upward movement. Thickly applied paint and textured passages contrast with fluid drips and spontaneous marks, producing depth and rhythmic intensity. Abstracted floral or organic motifs appear to cluster toward the upper section, while linear scaffolding-like forms and intersecting strokes anchor the lower portion, suggesting both structure and vitality. Sirry’s characteristic boldness is evident in the confident handling of acrylic medium, combining expressive abstraction with an underlying compositional control. The interplay between luminous warm hues and cooler greens and blues generates visual tension and harmony, reflecting her mature stylistic language in which emotion and movement take precedence over literal representation. The sheet shows minor handling marks and studio traces on the verso, consistent with the working process of an artist’s paper support. 37.5 x 21.5 cm
