Featured GALLERY: Gadalla's Dynamism School

The fifth period “Dynamism” began in the mid 1980s due to Gadalla’s lively search of imagination to capture the humanistic elements and to represent humans in an entirely different movement. He has been inspired to depicting the human form and emotions. In these extreme abstractions, man can feel the power of emotions mixed with the reality of time that illustrate the social and political atmospheres, and recent regional and universal events; all of which are mesmerizing crystals on canvas! A few art work of this period are: The New Sunrise, Resurgence of the Wind, Oh, Seagull Do Fly, Against the Wind, Inside the Storm, Breaking Away, Breaking Up, Peace after Death, The Fleeting Soul, The Passionate Lady, The Compassionate Bird Series, Waiting for the Love Ones, Calm Sadness, Reunion with the Love Ones, Missing the Love Ones, The Musician, Behind the Wall, The Challenge, A Girl from Hometown, A Flower from Hometown, Dancing in Spring, and The Sunflower. Moreover, this period continued to persist with Gadalla even after he arrived in the United States in 1991 and expanded to the following period “Crystalism-Dynamism”.  Many of his sketches depicting the agony, fear, humiliation, and despair, which he had drawn during the Gulf War in 1990, were completed as paintings on canvas later in the 1990’s. Some of these paintings are: The Hard Days, Scream for Help, The Scream for Freedom, Falls of Freedom, A Letter to the World, Twin Souls, No War, No More, The Victim, Falling Up, The Warrior, Defending the Soul, Defending the Moon, Embracing the Moon, Singing with the Penguins, Fiery Whinny, Dancing in Dream, Embracing the Sun, Morning Breeze, The Journey, Reaching You, The Desire, The Lovers, and Exciting Moment.
