It is not common to find a hippopotamus as the protagonist of a multitude of sculptures exhibited by one artist.
This is however the case of a solo exhibition in a contemporary art gallery, Mashrabia, where the 'river horse' (literal meaning of the word hippopotamus, coming from the ancient Greek ιπποπόταμος), becomes the centre of works by Egyptian artist Ahmed Askalany.
Titled simply 'Hippopotamus amphibius', the exhibition opened on 13 March and will continue until 28 April.
