Ahmed askalany, born 1978, in Qena, Egypt has his recent work of weaving sculptures using natural colored palm leaves exhibit at egyptian pavilion at venice art biennale 09. By using techniques as simple and similar as weaving a girl's hair, the artist work presents itself as an empty appearance, displaying fragility. The exhibition titled, 'lightly monumental' was commissioned by an egyptian artist, adel el-siwi.
Askalany's work aims to captivate the essential gestures and shapes of a humanity free from aggressiveness and a dark side.
'Simplicity is my philosophy – to convey the idea directly to the viewer without
going into detail.' - Ahmed Askalany.
