Synopsis

With an ability to combine the suggestions and colours of Eastern art with the most advanced compositional techniques of the Western avant-garde movements, Shafik conveys great lightness through his masterly use of colours, spaces and materials. His use of particular objects and finds reminds the viewer that this Egyptian artist is not only a painter but also a sculptor, whose work provides a metaphor of an existential journey. In his work, the hidden reality of the world is perceived through a "glow" that evokes distant horizons and far-off countries.
