Essays
- Artist Muhammad Shaker is considered one of the promising young artists in the Movement of Contemporary Egyptian Art; he is a serious artist who is preoccupied by searching and being inspired by surrounding environment, and those who see his works will feel a perfect unity of performance and structure. - Muhammad Shaker`s paintings are of high aesthetic value, and his style is rich with lights. Though he restricted colors to dark ones, his paintings have strange warmth and vividness; since what determines this warmth is the relations between colors and their degrees which gives a condensed dramatic load to his works.
