18 x 24 inches
$600.00
This exceptionally dynamic vertical oil on canvas by Bin Qalandar is a striking fusion of Islamic calligraphy and abstract expressionism. The artwork is set against a vibrant, richly textured deep crimson red background. Dominating the composition are bold, flowing strokes of white and gray abstract script that swirl around a large, central circular motif. This motif is a meticulously detailed calligraphic mandala, filled with intricate traditional script in various tones of red, green, and white, framed by geometric patterns. In the upper right, there is a prominent vertical rectangular section with subtle, detailed script, balancing the composition. The powerful contrast between the flowing, modern script and the structured, traditional geometric elements creates a visually commanding, spiritually profound, and highly sophisticated piece of art.
