The Beauty of Islamic Calligraphy, Husin Hourmain Way


Islamic calligraphy (or Arabic calligraphy) may be centuries old, but when Malaysian artist Husin Hourmain injects modernity into this unique form of art, you can expect visually arresting and mind-stimulating artworks.

If you have yet to be in the presence of Husin’s masterpieces, you should definitely make a trip to his upcoming solo art exhibition titled “Awal Hurouf Asal Hurouf” at White Space, Publika Solaris Hartamas from 9 to 20 March 2013.

The exhibition will showcase 30 pieces of Husin’s latest work – all of which are contemporary interpretations of Islamic calligraphy art. As there are 30 Jawi alphabets, and it took Husin more than 3 years for him to produce the whole collection which seamlessly integrates art and culture.
