Raafat Ishak: Hot Air ceramics and the passion that drives

and the passion that drives their work

In telling his great-grandfather’s story

Foreword by Jo Higgins

The narratives portray lived histories as stories that do not end

sitter after sitter in a gaze with the woman across the table

Raafat Ishak: Hot Air ceramics and the passion that drivesHot Air is the first comprehensive book surveying the work of Egyptian born, Naarm Melbourne based artist Raafat Ishak. Rethinking the linearity of the monographic format, Hot Air navigates Ishaks practice through a sequence of themes and motifs that occupy his art: NUDITY SQUARE LANGUAGE AIR SUN BLACK PAINTING ARCHITECTURE. The final chapter, HEIDE, is dedicated to the artists major solo exhibition in the celebrated modernist building at Heide Museum
