Dramatic compositions by the artist Ashraf Al-Aasar... The pauses and reflections of Ahmed Kafafi

Sculpture is a silent art... its sea is statues and fixed shapes that do not move... That is the traditional vision of this ancient art that has changed over the years, so that the three-dimensional art embodies the movement with its speed and the successive and conflicting images contained in bodies in a wheel state.

That was the impression left by the exhibition (Dramatic Formations) by the artist Dr. Ashraf Al-Aasar, Professor of Stereoscopic Formation at Ain Shams University, which was held in the Opera House’s Round Hall (September 10-17), where it included a large group of fine woodcarving works... works that may stop everyone for a visitor to wait for an hour to understand the depth of its content, or for a few minutes if he is of this kind of pioneer who is looking for directness...

According to Al-Aasar, the exhibits are divided into three directions: works of stark abstraction - experimental works - and semi-abstract works ... and each of these types has its own shape and taste.
