Hany Armanious
Born 1962, Ismaïla (EG). Lives and works in Sydney (AUS)
Hany Armanious is an Egyptian-born, Sydney-based sculptor whose practice centres on the processes and possibilities of casting. Working from found and everyday objects, Armanious creates near-identical doubles and material transformations that draw attention to the uncertain relationships between objects, their surfaces and the ways in which we understand the material world.
Armanious completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts at the City Art Institute, Sydney in 1984, and a Doctorate of Creative Arts at the University of Wollongong in 2021. In 2011, he represented Australia at the 54th Venice Biennale with The Golden Thread at the Australian Pavilion. Selected exhibitions include; The Planets, Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, Sydney (2026); Stone Soup, Buxton Contemporary, Melbourne (2025–26); Intervals, Fine Arts, Sydney (2025); Stone Soup, Henry Moore Institute, Leeds (2024); Tabula Rasa, Michael Lett, Auckland (2022); Selflok, City Gallery Wellington, Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington (2014); The Oracle, Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis (2008); and Morphic Resonances, Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane (2007) and City Gallery Wellington, Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington (2008).
