Damascus-SANA
The Syrian art audience was on a date with the exhibition of the plastic artist from Hama, Jamil Qasha, which opened this evening at George Kamel Gallery in Damascus.
The exhibition, which is the thirtieth of the artist Qasha in Damascus, included a number of art pieces that varied between sculptures, most of which were inspired by nature, and metal figures dominated by the Byzantine character. These pieces are a realistic translation of the ideas of the artist Qasha in an abstract style, adding to them his artistic mark.
Speaking to SANA's reporter, Qasha talked about sculpture as a special art that, unlike other arts, needs specific places and specific materials, in addition to the fact that it requires more effort to obtain the required artwork as accurately as possible.
Regarding the exhibition, Qasha pointed out that preparations for any exhibition may take a long time
Up to two years depending on the number and type of pieces, indicating that this is subject to the general situation of the society and the ideas presented by that case.
Regarding the association of most of the exhibition’s sculptures with nature, Qasha said: “Art, by definition, is a practice of nature or man added to nature, and the role of the artist lies in reflecting nature with the elements it contains within the framework of his artistic work.”
It is noteworthy that the plastic artist Jamil Qasha graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Damascus in 1982 and held many exhibitions in Syria and abroad that were embodied in carving on stones extracted from the Orontes River and the Great North River.
