Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This exhibition showcases three generations of artists from Iran and the Arab world, a few exceptional contemporary calligraphers, but mainly those only occasionally incorporating the written word in their works today. These artists, from different backgrounds and possessing diverse styles, take inspiration from their own culture; they use the morphology of letters and phonemes, the rhymes and rhythms of calligraphy, abstracting words into pictures and thoughts into images. The result over the past six decades has been the creation of an alternative and original approach to modernism and contemporary art, while representing the birth of new and different aesthetics.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Through a careful selection of artworks by Farhad Ahrarnia and Hossein Valamanesh, Fereshte Moosavi analyses their creative methods where a humble relationship with materials and objects have formed their practice. Ahrarnia's khatam-kari (Persian technic of inlaying), carpets, and Tazhibs present a dual connection between the modern man and traditional handicrafts. Using natural materials such as branches, leaves, earth, and fire, Hossein Valamanesh reminds us of a forgotten relationship with the nature of materials.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. To help organise the two staple features of human existence, i.e. production of food and ritual, mankind has observed local natural phenomena, mainly the movement of the sun and the moon. The Shape of Time calendar series attempts to find a visual correlation between the lunar and the solar cycles. The recurring theme is the organisation of elements into a coherent whole, creating order from chaos. The final form of the artwork stands as a temporary idealised state, a perfect moment amid the swirling disorder. Born in central London in 1946, Graham Day received his MA in Fine Art from The Slade School of Art, UCL, in 1973. He lectured part time in Fine Art between 1973 and 2006. Since 1974 he has held a number of solo exhibitions in the UK, Europe, the Middle East and the USA. He lives and works in London and Wiltshire.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The Conference of the Birds' was written by the Persian mystic Farid ud-Din Attar, a well-travelled poet, in 1177. The imagery in Graham Day's monoprints is derived from popular talismans found in the Middle East and India. Day specifically chose to work with these images by collecting thirty examples from a wide variety of sources and recutting them onto wooden printing blocks. He printed them by hand, using relief printmaking, which is inevitably concerned with mirror images and symmetry.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Garden of Africa is an artist's response to the need for humans to be given proper dignity after death. Many corpses, washed up by sea currents on the beaches of Zarzis, Tunisia, had for years been denied a proper burial and had instead gone to the public dump. It was the artist, sculptor, urbanist and architect Rachid Koraichi's determination to create a palace, a final resting place for these people, a site that would itself be a work of art - and would grow into a memorial where families and relatives could come to pray and pay their last respects. 'This versatile artist, linked to the Koraichi family of the Prophet Muhammad, is deeply spiritual. His most recent project is Jardin d'Afrique (Garden of Africa), a cemetery for irregular migrants in the coastal town of Zarzis, southern Tunisia.'

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Nasser Al Aswadi is a contemporary French Yemeni artist known for his innovative use of Arabic and South Arabian script in paintings and sculptures.

Through his unique visual language, Nasser Al Aswadi offers a powerful commentary on the intersection of tradition and modernity, personal history and collective memory.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. This publication is an artist's journey through mythology, prehistory and metamorphosis. It covers five decades of Christine Khonjie's works, from drawings, paintings and artist books to embroideries. Zoomorphic creatures, djinns, daemons, goddesses and shamanic self-portraits emerge and populate her works on paper, textiles or objects. With her unique artistic style - reflecting her nomadic life between Iran, France, India and Bahrain - she transports us to her own geography of memories, through her dreams or nightmares, as she takes a voyage of self-discovery.
