Property of a Private Collector, New York

Executed in 2014.

Ganzeer is a New York based graphic designer working under the pseudonym Ganzeer, or 'bicycle chain' in English, to express his belief that artists can propel ideas and drive change.

He first exhibited in 2007, and has held a variety of art residencies in the Netherlands, Poland, Germany, and Jordan in the following years. In 2011, he began to create political street art in Cairo during the Arab Spring. Through his bold and provocative murals made during that period, Ganzeer called out oppression and violence against the Egyptian people. His art continues to bear witness to the social and political upheaval of our time.

Ganzeer has exhibited widely and his work has been shown in various institutions, including The Brooklyn Museum, New York; The Palace of the Arts, Cairo, Egypt; the Greek State Museum, Thessaloniki, Greece; the Victoria & Albert Museum, London.

The present work comes from a series of anti-sexual harrassment screenprints featuring model Maya Desnuda. A large-scale version of the image was later reproduced for the exhibition AGITPROP! at the Brooklyn Museum in December 2015.
