The Man Behind The Islamic Art – Asghar Mughal
September 19th, 2012, posted in Art, Ink On PAPER, Islam
The calligraphy while originally making use of basic Arabic script is known to depict anthropomorphic figures that symbolically represent creatures, the most notable one being that of a lion, a title given to the fourth Caliph of Islam Ali.
Once such calligrapher, whose work precedes his name is Asghar Mughal. Famous for being the only calligrapher to work without brushes, Mughal has introduced new concepts and ideas into the age old form of art and therefore his work is a beautiful fusion of history and modernity. Using colors in beautiful multidimensional aspects, he has managed to develop what he calls ‘a galaxy of colors on canvas’.
