The First International "Amr in the Eyes of Others" Gallery - June 2006

I am proud to announce the first "Amr in the Eyes of Others" Picture Gallery. I am intrigued by the fact that I have provided interesting material for amateur artists of different schools to depict me. The purpose of this exhibition is not to commemorate me, but to applaud the efforts of the many who have attempted to poke fun at me using art as their weapon.
Here We Go!

Amr and the Freemasons

This depiction of Amr Rakha, circa 2000, attempts to address the possibility of my being part of some freemason order (because I say so much nonesense) by revealing my freemason ID card.





The Circles


A recurring theme in Amr Rakha art, this 2000 Microsoft-Word art rendering of Amr Rakha focuses on the circular aspects of his physique.
















Rounded Slopes


This 2005 caricature by amateur comic artist Mohamed Mohie focuses on frontal upper-abdominal curvatures, which were (and somewhat still remain) one of the most prominent aspects of Amr Rakha's physique.














Amr in the Eyes of Expressions

Developed in Micrsoft Word Art by Expressions' Art team, this depiction of Amr Rakha is tell-tale of the management style applied in his own company, Expressions.














Experimental Photography

This 2006 photograph taken by Mr. Yaqeen Husam, one of Amr Rakha's close friends, depicts what Mr. Husam finds most interesting about Amr Rakha's character.


Managing Gawab

This most recent 2006 depiction captured by Mr. Ibrahim Khalil, staff member working under Amr Rakha's management at Gawab, provides a contrast to the previous rendering of Expressions' staff, tell-tale of a varied management style applied at Gawab.


Remains only one hand-drawn portrait to be added to the collection, but this is more or less it! Please vote for the one you like the most and tell me if you agree with my perception of others' perceptions!

بالنسبه لتعليقى انا عايز اقسم الصوره عده اجزاء
----------------------------------------------
اول جزى الملامح
-----------------
بالنسبه للعين انا شايف فيهم واحد مش شايف المستقبل على قد
ماهو فاهم المستقبل تحس انها عين عارفه حجات كتير وده واضح جداً مش شكل الحواجب
شكلها مطمن مع ان اليشفها ميطمنش بالعكس يستغرب هيا مطمنه ليه اصلاً
الملامح كلها ثابته وده يدل على الاستقرار
الغريب بقا شكل السكسوكه
فى ظل اللخبطه ال فى الوش دى كلها
تلاقى السكسوكه و الشنب متحديدين وده بالنسبه لجندى محتاج وقت و ادوات
فا كون ان جندى بيبقا عادتاً ظروفه صعبه مش فاضى يحدد دقنه
نلاقى الجندى بتاعنا محدد دقنو و ده يدل برضو على تنظيم و الوقت
وان المظهر بالنسبالو مهم
الفم مغلق لان لاداعى للكلام فى ظل هذه النظره


تانى جزء الكسكته
------------------
الكسكته معوجه برضو ده حاجه من الاتنين يا اما مفيش شمس و ده يدل ان
بيستخدم الادوات المتاحه بالطريقه الصحيحه
و ان كل حاجه ليها وقتها مش اى حاجه فى اى وقت نوع من انواع النظام برضو

او فى شمس بس مش همو حاجه

رابع جزءالجسم
---------------
مش كلو باين وده يخليك متعرفش بقيتو ايه
ممكن يبقا بقيتو دبابه مثلاً



تالت جزء الالوان الورا
---------------------
مش عارف انا حاسس ببهجه واتا شايف الالوان دى و كمان بحث ببهجه لما بشوف عمرو
ممكن نقول دى روحه هاديه و بسيطه و مسليه
