Featured GALLERY: Camouflages

In the second school, Gadalla depicts the subject matter; transforming the inner meaning of his ideas through the use of symbols and natural effects of the surrounding along with simple, but elegant, reflections of his imagination. Different media are used (oil, acrylic, gauche, watercolor, pastel, charcoal, pencil, ink, and natural dyes). Examples of art work featuring this school are: The Ocean, The Eyes, World of Imagination, Windy Day, Cross Roads, Immigrant’s Journey, and Camouflage.

...Gadalla’s abstract painting The Eyes symbolized the meaning of the entire exhibition. He empowered ‘via colors’ the viewers in figuring out to themselves the hidden meanings of The Eyes...
