until 16 October
Askalany’s subjects are simple human figures and animals inspired and representative of his native town, Nag Hammadi, in Upper Egypt. His works are characterized by traditional aesthetic forms that place an emphasis on both structure and volume, but the volumes are distorted with a minimal head on a giant body and they possesses a sense of innocence alongside a state of isolation reflecting both frankness and candour.
There is no specific formula that Askalany uses when creating his works of art, the final work often represents this by becoming humorous or naïve but always with a poetic sensitivity. This connection allows his work to become unique and unmistakable, yet at the same time, does not stop him being thoroughly up to date.
According to Askalany, “My philosophy is simplicity, to convey the idea directly to the viewer without overcomplicating the message with too much detail. I’m extremely excited to be able to show again my latest works to the UAE.”
The uniqueness of this present solo stems from the fact that he has sculpted the body of works in bronze. Askalany’s career has been blessed with success and his latest body of works is sure to be a favorite amongst the region’s art enthusiasts.
