About the artist: After six years of absence, Master calligrapher Samir Sayegh comes back to the art scene with a series of paintings in acrylic and gold leaf on canvas, in addition to mixed media on panel, reinterpreting the Arabic letters in a very avant-garde minimalist and contemporary style, in his continuous pursuit to transcend the aesthetics of Arabic calligraphy into universal forms and signs, beyond the formal boundaries of content and meaning. A pictorial delight beyond words!
