Nushrat Sayeed-Hussain
As an artist of Arab origins the connection to my roots is evident in my work - I was swept away by the beauty of Arabic script which I've often heard said "speaks to the soul". I feel a passion for its form and design which has led me to explore other types of calligraphy, namely Chinese and Japanese.
To be clear, I'm not a calligrapher - rather I take the form of calligraphy script and create art from it, incorporating a background design to accentuate its beauty. My portfolio of work contains early drawings of abstract design, detailing my journey with calligraphy art form and, more recently, the mystical world of geometric design. I'm a self taught artist, newly emerging onto the London art scene with experience of exhibiting at Lambeth Open Studios 2015 and more recently, at the Urban Art Fair 2016 in Brixton. |
