“Takasim” in Arabic cultural center

The Arabic Cultural Center of Abu Rummaneh held on Sunday evening a collective exhibition under the title “Takasim”. Thirty-two students from Ahmed Walid Ezzat Center participated, from different age’s categories. Among the participants there was a group of academics and professionals presenting their works that reflected long years of experience.

The exhibition included more than 80 sculptures made from gypsum and resin. The pieces take the shape of bronze, marble or basalt after processing and coloring. There was a variation of themes and sizes ranging from small to medium.

Artist Sham jumaa, an architecture student, took part in the exhibition by exposing two sculptures using resin material, she said to Syriatimes:”I have been studying in the center for two years, I am participating in this exhibition with two works, the first one indicates man’s journey through life with all pressures and obstacles, while the second refers to the female body, which is a symbol of motherhood, power and giving.

That’s why I used the green color” she added.

The sculpture made of Gypsum reflects the spirit of Ikbal al-Qaderi, who takes inspiration from face expressions looking forward to the future. Ikbal work symbolizes optimism, contentment, and hope.
