Celebrated British Egyptian visual artist Heba Gabr brings her internationally acclaimed practice to Northamptonshire this autumn, launching a solo exhibition of
some of her artworks at The Shoosmith Gallery at Delapré Abbey. Gabr, named Best Arab Expressionist Artist in the World (2018–2019) at the London
International Art Exhibition [London International Art Exhibition Heba Gabr], delivers an immersive experience that masterfully bridges cultural memory and human
emotion. Grounded in a classical foundation from Alexandria University’s Faculty of Fine Arts, her practice spans oils, and mixed media, yet raw charcoal remains her defining signature. Using high-contrast light and shadow, Gabr drags hidden forms and unspoken truths onto the surface, laying bare universal threads of resilience, identity, and shared connection. Having previously exhibited globally, including the Anima Mundi Festival and The Body Language Exhibition in Venice [Heba Gabr Zervas Art], Gabr’s upcoming presentation marks an exciting opportunity for local art enthusiasts to experience fourteen of her powerful works up close in Northampton. We are delighted to showcase these along with the permanent watercolour collection of Northamptonshire's Shoosmith family dating back to 1870. We look forward to welcoming you.
