Ali Kaaf : Paper and Glass

Ali Kaaf: Paper and Glass captures the delicate dialogue between the fragility of burnt paper and the crystalline strength of glass. Published by the prestigious Moontower Foundation, 2013, this beautifully produced monograph offers a rare look into the spiritual and minimalist world of one of Syria’s most significant contemporary artists. A must-have for collectors of modern abstract art and high-end art publications. Paper and Glass, Syrian-born artist Ali Kaaf navigates the intersection of space, light, and materiality. This volume serves as a comprehensive record of his mastery over two contrasting mediums: the vulnerability of handmade paper—transformed through tearing, burning, and layering—and the solid yet transparent nature of blown glass.
