Sedaghat Jabbari
|
Sedaghat Jabbari, adopts calligraphic forms as motifs to produce works that look modern at first glance. Having been exposed to both traditional calligraphic training and modern college education in fine arts, he boldly explores the ways to unite them in his works. In his latest artistic phase, he shows a drastic departure from the traditional ways of calligraphy, by experimenting with painting techniques, using brush and paint on canvas. The words and characters of his calligraphy-paintings have no longer the traditional clarity and so do not communicate to their viewers by the content they carry; instead display themselves as mere visual elements wrapped in colours and textures. With this, Sedaghat brings calligraphy to a different domain altogether and introduces himself more as a modern painter rather than a traditional `calligrapher'. |
