View all Hisham Echafaki artworks
For Family Portrait Echafaki fuses elements from the natural and the man-made, for a powerful comment on our troubled relationship with the animal kingdom. An opulent room of tiled floors, wood panelling, and floral wallpaper provides the backdrop. On the wall, beside sprays of graffiti tags, a stag's head has been mounted, gazing down at his family: a live doe and her fawn, who stand surrounded by garlands of ivy and autumn foliage.

Hisham Echafaki also paints multidimensional portraits of animals, in resin and Perspex giving the optical illusion that they are or were once real specimen. The animals often display anthropomorphic features on their wings or bodies with recognizable patterns found in art, design, science or architecture while others are simply more lifelike. Each piece is a tribute to the beautiful intricacy and complexity of the animal world but also a critique of how humans are affecting and shaping evolutionary changes in animal species.
What is Archival Giclée
Giclée (/ʒiːˈkleɪ/ zhee-KLAY) is a neologism, ultimately derived from the French word gicleur, coined in 1991 by printmaker Jack Duganne for fine art digital prints made using inkjet printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on a modified Iris printer in a process invented in the late 1980s. It has since been used widely to mean any fine-art printing, usually archival, printed by inkjet. It is often used by artists, galleries, and print shops for their high quality printing, but is also used generically for art printing of any quality.
