For the Sake of Love
Collaboration between Hussein Al-Azaat and Firas Al-Majzoub
11 to 31 March 2020 Opening 11th of March at 6PM
Jacaranda Images proudly presents a unique collaboration between two artists who are passionate about calligraphy and colors.
Calligraphy artist Hussein Al-Azaat and the architectural designer Firas Majzoub join forces to create watercolor calligraphy using the wet-on-wet technique, sharing a new experience for both of them. They present us with a new perspective for Arabic calligraphy in a contemporary and nontraditional style, to create a dialogue with the letters through meaning, visually and spatially. ‘For the Sake of Love’ is inspired from mystical poetry, divine spinning, love and adoration. It communicates all stages of love through the correspondence of the character of the letter and its symbolism. This exhibition takes us on a journey where the conscience of the text and the power of color shows the relationship of dissonance and attraction between the color values and the smoothness of watercolors.
‘For the Sake of Love’ is a new presentation of love’s relationship with time by studying the shifting shape and trends of color liquidity on the paper surface and the emergence of freehand from the accumulation of the layers in the work.
