‘Stencil B’ brings together several of the themes of the well-known series that helped turn Avedissian’s career: ‘Cairo Stencils’. Five icons that revive together on corrugated cardboard and that, each on its own merits, interested the artist. As Egypt’s revolucionary leader Nasser, the world’s humanitarian symbol Teresa of Calcuta, first human being in Space Yuri Gagarin, the middle east actress and singer Yolanda and the young King Farouk.
