Abdulaziz Al Rashidi: QAWALEB
Abdulaziz Al-Rashidi is drawn to the process of calligraphers and sees the beauty in their production phase and the pursuit of perfection. His views on calligraphers are juxtaposed between the two oxymorons, effort vs. effortless. He views the calligrapher’s resilience as an artistic effort but also appreciates the spontaneity in a calligrapher’s restless passion.
The dedication of executing a final work is what captures Al-Rashidi’s interest. The layers and imperfections that are leading to the final work is his main focus. Al-Rashidi sheds light on this magnificent process and sees the allure in the process of repetition to the point of perfection. To Al-Rashidi, the qaleb is an exercise that moves the calligrapher’s practice only further.
