Moscow-Sana

Plastic artist Issa Deeb recalled the famous Newton apple incident in a realistic and expressive manner during his participation in a sculptural work in the international forum organized by the Russian Belgorod Technological University.

The sculpture of Deeb, participating in the forum, came in the form of a white block on a base, using alabaster, which is characterized by its strong whiteness and hardness, deliberately showing the details of the apple tree and the falling fruits in the form of clear and geometrically parallel lines.

The forum, organized by Belgorod University, one of the oldest Russian universities, was attended by Arab and Russian artists, and bears the name of Russian engineer Vladimir Shukhov, one of the world's pioneers of structural engineering and designer of the famous Moscow Tower.

Regarding his participation in the forum, the artist Deeb told SANA Cultural, I was invited by Belgorod University to participate in the forum, which is being held on the sixtieth anniversary of the university’s founding.

Regarding the alabaster material that he used as a material for his sculpture, he said alabaster is a noble and very appetizing material for me to carry out sculptural works, and it is characterized by its hardness, transparency, resistance to weather factors, and the scarcity of technical problems in it such as dirt veins or joints, as for me it plays wonderful music with every chisel stroke.

His choice of expressive realism came as a framework for his work because it makes him tell a story through his sculptural works and gives him wide possibilities to leave his mark and enrich the artwork with elements.

And a graduate of the Sculpture Department at the Faculty of Fine Arts in 1988 added, “We Syrians created legends and made each work a story. The artist must present a story during his work. In this work, I touched on Newton’s apple, which gave him the idea of ​​discovering the law of gravity and the tree has a romantic presence and a very important presence in our history and conscience.”

Deeb stresses the importance of the participation of Syrian artists in international forums, because every person is an ambassador for his country abroad. Removal. Sculpting is an eternal work, and the artist participating in these events must possess a national vision and knowledge of the history of his country and the reality of what is happening in it, because through side conversations in the forum, the situation in Syria is addressed.
