Nūn Art Gallery, Luxor

Nūn Art Gallery is a contemporary art gallery in Luxor, Egypt, that organises temporary exhibitions monthly. It is dedicated to showcasing the impressive visual artworks of Egyptian artists and non-Egyptians living in Egypt, continuously promoting established artists as well as searching for new talents.

Nūn Art Gallery is founded and jointly managed by Sayed Qinawi and Claudia Ali. From February 2020 on, Nūn Art Gallery is reviving the well-known art space beside Wannas Art Cafe close to the Nile on the west bank of Luxor.

Matching colours in front of an artwork by Brian Flynn

We chose the Nūn to represent our gallery because of its complex meaning in the Sufi tradition as well as in the ancient Egyptian mythology. If you like to know more about the Nūn — artist Brian Flynn, who also designed our logo, wrote an enlightening article for us: "The Meaning of Nūn".

The current situation is more than difficult for artists and of course also for galleries. Please consider buying artwork to support the art scene in Luxor. Contact us and we will keep it for you until your next visit or find a way to send it to you. Even when the exhibition itself is finished we can make an arrangement if the artwork in question isn't sold yet. » See all Artworks

Today, on 29 June 2020, our 3rd video went online on Vimeo. We present in it the highlights of Luxor and introduce our gallery to you. Hope you enjoy it!

Summer Collection 2020:

For several reasons, it's not an appropriate time to arrange a new exhibition and an opening. However: A life without art would be no life at all. That's why we present to you even during the quiet summer months a curated collection of 25 artworks, most of which you didn't see before at our gallery.
We look forward to your visit! If it's not possible for you in person see all artworks here.
