Tribute

‘Tribute’ emanates from the Torah, which tells the story that earth is carried by animals and that animals and other creatures are essential to the survival of the earth.
Hany Mansy explains how he tries to offer a tribute to animals for the mistakes made by all of human kind, in order to help us through the difficult time we live in today.
The technique used by the artist complements this idea. When preparing the raw wood for painting he enters a dialogue between himself and the material, and the journey of discovering the characteristics of the wood is essential in the creation of the artwork.
