The Hyksos do not appear to have produced any court art, instead appropriating monuments from earlier dynasties by writing their names on them.
Many of these are inscribed with the name of King Khyan.
A large palace at Avaris has been uncovered, built in the Levantine rather than the Egyptian style, most likely by Khyan.
King Apepi is known to have patronized Egyptian scribal culture, commissioning the copying of the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus.
The stories preserved in the Westcar Papyrus may also date from his reign.

The so-called "Hyksos sphinxes" or "Tanite sphinxes" are a group of royal sphinxes depicting the earlier pharaoh Amenemhat III (Twelfth Dynasty) with some unusual traits compared to conventional statuary, for example prominent cheekbones and the thick mane of a lion, instead of the traditional nemes headcloth.
The name "Hyksos sphinxes" was given due to the fact that these were later reinscribed by several of the Hyksos kings, and were initially thought to represent the Hyksos kings themselves.
Nineteenth-century scholars attempted to use the statues' features to assign a racial origin to the Hyksos.
These Sphinxes were seized by the Hyksos from cities of the Middle Kingdom and then transported to their capital Avaris where they were reinscribed with the names of their new owners and adorned their palace.
Seven of those sphinxes are known, all from Tanis, and now mostly located in the Cairo Museum.
Other statues of Amenehat III were found in Tanis and are associated with the Hyksos in the same manner.
