The head of the Department of Culture in Sharjah Abdullah Al Owais, and the Director of the Department of Cultural Affairs in the Department, Director of the Festival, Muhammad Ibrahim Al Qaseer, inaugurated four exhibitions that varied between the parallel figure and calligraphic works and others occupied with gold, in the Calligraphy Square in the heart of Sharjah, as part of the activities of the twenty-fourth session of the Islamic Arts Festival. In the presence of artists, calligraphers and media professionals from different countries of the world.
In the beginning, the parallel personal exhibition “Representations” by the Syrian artist Jalal Al-Mohareb, and the exhibition “Painting with Gold” were opened in the homes of calligraphers.
Al-Owais, Al-Qusair and the attendees toured the Syrian artist’s exhibition, where they viewed various artworks presented by him with a remarkable aesthetic vision, and listened to explanations about the meanings of the works as well as how to work on them, explaining that the exhibition mixes classic and chromatic letters.
“Tajjayat” is a calligraphic exhibition with a chromatic, figurative and classic character that tells the story of the beauty of the Arabic letter, its ability to manifest itself in the most beautiful form and shape, and its ability to create an atmosphere of spiritual and visual harmony in a creative reality.
The Al-Hofuf exhibition tells the story of the human soul’s desire, and its desire to reach the finest images of beauty and creativity through its philosophical attachment to its Creator, as Arabic calligraphy was and still creates wide areas, and endless horizons of distinction.
Jalal Ibrahim Al-Mohareb (1973) is one of the contemporary Syrian names in the field of Arabic calligraphy of all kinds. A brilliant artist characterized by basic mastery of Arabic calligraphy. He is able to control the rules and their proportions in the third, diwani, Naskh, Raq’ah and the rest of the lines.
As for “Painting with Gold,” it is an exhibition that reflects the use of the art of gilding in decorating calligraphic paintings, as well as decorating the pages of the Holy Qur’an.
We see aesthetically in this exhibition the works of seven artists from Iran, namely: Arizo Shali, Fatima Dosti, Munira Kalhar, Parwaneh Latifi, Buran Azarkman, Satara Qanbari, and Zahra Dosti.
From the houses of calligraphers to the Sharjah Center for the Art of Arabic Calligraphy and Decoration, Al Owais, Al Qaseer and the attendees toured between calligraphic artwork, calligraphy and the art of gilding, where the artists’ creativity was manifested through aesthetic touches.
The Sharjah Center for Arabic Calligraphy and Decoration hosted an exhibition entitled "Creativity Corners", and another exhibition entitled "Flowers on Letters".
The exhibition “Corners of Creativity” is part of the activities of the 24th edition of the Islamic Arts Festival, in which calligraphers Muhammad Al-Nouri and Musab Al-Douri from Iraq, and Mahmj Farouk Al-Haddad from Syria, participate with creative and vibrant works.
On the walls of the center, in a corner full of sunshine, and between the hideouts of the historic roads of Sharjah, the walls pulse with the elements of authentic Arab beauty.
