"Tannour" … more This fine example of original abstract impressionism is a magnificent acrylic painting by the renowned Egyptian artist Mohamed Khedr. "Tannour" is Khedr's take on the Sufi meditative practice of praying to God through a repetitive whirling motion. Beautiful colors and movement in Khedr's brush strokes reflect the motion in the person's action. Khedr developed this style and few others have been able to mimic it to the same intensity as Khedr. "Tannour" measures 100cm x 80cm or approximately 39" x 31". It is in a medium-stained wood frame with a classic-style upholstered mat.

This piece has only been displayed in art exhibits and otherwise carefully stored.
