Geometric calligraphy leaves people in awe at Coopera
* All 52 pieces have different colour schemes and patterns
LAHORE: Geometry has always been important in Islamic architecture and art, and Abdul Saleem has practised calligraphy on geometrical patterns beautifully.
A numbers of artists and art enthusiasts turned up at Saleems calligraphy exhibition, which opened at the Coopera Art Gallery on Friday. Saleem is a senior artist and has been producing art for a long while. His calligraphy work is based on computer-generated digital prints, in which he has focused on the three basic geometric shapes - triangle, square and circle.
Differences: Fifty-two art pieces have been put on display. The colour scheme and patterns are different in each piece of work. Information, Culture and Youth Affairs Secretary Shoaib Bin Aziz inaugurated the exhibition. He took keen interest in the artists work and praised the work put on display.
Muhammad Javed, a senior artist, said Saleem had developed a taste for Islamic geometric calligraphy and had carried it out well. Javed said although the work might not be for sale from a commercial viewpoint, it had great artistic value. Another senior artist and member of the Calligraphy Guild said the work was quite appealing. The artist said though traditional calligraphy had greater artistic value and appeal, the calligraphic prints had a lot of thinking behind their creation.
In some of the art pieces, the artist had used such geometric patterns that demand the viewer pay great attention to detail. Some of the works also remind one of traditional Islamic architectural feats, in which minarets and domes are constructed on geometrical patterns.
