Anachar Basbous as a child preferred playing with magnetic boards to regular clay modeling. In adulthood, that preference for building-up rather than carving stayed with him. Nowhere is that clearer than in his latest body of work. Seemingly moving parts, almost floating in space create the illusion of constantly changing and dancing shapes. “I like to start from simple, pure shapes; a square, a rectangle, a disc, or a lens…” he says, “the shape is the beginning of my inspiration.” Most importantly his work is driven by his fascination with and the relationships between his sculptures and sunlight. His works pierce space upwards, like big astral machines in a perpetual dialogue with the sun, his sculptural works becoming pure reflection, the dialogue between nature and architecture, gravity and magnetism, the macrocosm and the microcosm, the body and the spirit, between man and the Cosmos.
