med Ragab Sakr and His Aesthetic Se-
quences"
For the emerging artist Ahmed Ragab Sakr,
the work of art is created with a kind of "sys-
tematic" technique that follows the "vertical
construction of the work", as it is considered
a key part of the aesthetic process. I mean by
the vertical construction the whole "mental pro-
cess". On contemplating all works generally,
an important aspect of the characteristics of
the cultural composition of the artist soon be-
comes evident, as the deliberate repetition of
the form structures indicates his clear interest
in spreading organic and physical, vertical
and transverse visual collections, allowing the
picture to flow consistently before the pupil of
the eye.
Neither the clear geometric architectural struc-
ture nor the apparent (stress) of the sequences
of the one-dimensional squares is overlooked.
Also, the sectional detail of the element analy-
sis, whether that element was human or a crea-
ture in the external nature, or in the depths of
the inner nature is not missed. We rather focus
on the aspects of the composition of Ahmed
Sakr's artwork in general. That composition,
seemingly, gives obvious respect to the visual
element as it is light, a physical mass, a picto-
rial part that follows in all cases the aesthetic
analysis in the space of the picture before be-
ing a theme on explaining the form patterns,
what may be sometimes seen by the followers
of the traditional approach to the art thinking.
A tribute to our emerging artist Ahmed Ragab
Sakr.
