Andy Acason - Arabic plasterwork design Artist                                             EXHIBITED at the Gallery 2nd - 27th July 2016
On my visits to the Middle East, I have been lucky enough to observe craftsmen creating the beautiful plasterwork that adorns so many palaces and castles throughout the World.  I have seen the traditional methods still used to this day.
My plasterworks are a mix of both experimental and traditional techniques, which attempt to evoke an essence of the Middle East.
The process if quite involved and labour intensive.  A master is initially made which is then used to make subsequent copies.  I use traditional Arabic mathematical design for inspiration.
