About this book

Artist and calligrapher Mouneer Al Shaarani presents his vision of Arabic calligraphy as an autonomous contemporary art form rooted in, yet not confined by, tradition. Alongside a critical introduction, the volume reproduces more than one hundred calligraphic works. They reveal how he revives neglected scripts, develops inherited forms, and creates new geometric possibilities inspired by Maghrebi and Andalusian traditions. The book is both a visual archive and a statement on the continuing creative life of Arabic script.
