Untitled 1996

This 1996 piece by Hassan Massoudy is a strong example of calligraphy in abstract art. The work's primary form is that of a black and brown abstract shape, reminiscent of a stylized bird or an Arabic letter. The artist utilizes a bold black and brown ink, creating a sense of depth through their layering and subtle shading. The addition of a small red and yellow accents break up the composition and add a touch of dynamism. This work is a great example of contemporary Islamic art and demonstrates the influence of calligraphy in modern and abstract expressionism.
