Tapping into the potential of Arabic as an art
form is limitless when East meets West. The
words are created in abstract compositions
linking traditional with contemporary. There is
a great freedom and sense of adventure in the
courtship of the Arabic script. Arabic text is not
only an identifying symbol; it has been actively
used across the Middle East to communicate,
teach and has evolved as one of the most
beautiful scripts in the world. This is why the
Arabic language is such a powerful concept in
our modern day understanding of art in the
Middle East.
This collection celebrates the beauty of the
positive verse and the romance of the Arabic
language. Through the use of color, movement
and text it illustrates a powerful representation
of each word, visually expressing the great
heritage and artistic traditions of this script.
