About The Artwork
The face of Malcolm X, famous African American Muslim leader and human rights activist, is depicted using the Diwani Jali Arabic calligraphy script. The text is an Arabic translation of the following quote, obviously repeated many times: "If violence is wrong in America, then violence is wrong abroad."- Malcolm, X 1963 In this particular translation, I've used the word 'فاسد' (pronounced Faasid) to mean wrong. While in its simplest sense, it is translated as 'wrong', other common translations are: Bad, invalid, rotten, spoiled, abusive, decayed, perverse, false, vicious, depraved, foul, void, decomposed, immoral, decadent, putrid, incorrect, degenerated, null, vain, disintegrated, infected, unsound, wicked, pervertible Signed Limited Edition print of 50 on fine 220 gsm paper. This piece will be signed, numbered, and dated in pencil in Arabic and English. Most prints in the edition are signed on the front at the bottom. However, there are a few prints in the edition which are signed and numbered on the back of the piece. Please specify if you would prefer to have the signature on the back, otherwise you will be sent a print with the signature and numbers on the front.

Lebanon
Born 1988 in Nashville, Tennessee Currently working from my atelier in Beirut, Lebanon since 2011, I continue to pursue my education and understanding of Islamic Art and calligraphy. Working in the Diwani, Diwani Jali and square Kufic scripts, I use the words to create illustrations ranging from portraits to geometric abstract constructions. The work celebrates Middle Eastern and Islamic culture in addition to focusing on human rights in the post colonial era, with an emphasis on American and western foreign policy. With few calligraphers who use their words to illustrate rather than write, my greatest inspiration comes from Jila Peacock, and Hassan Musa. My aim is to eventually achieve the flawless legibility of Peacock's work while also grasping the visual accuracy with which Hassan Musa illegibly creates his animals and figures, using shapes and strokes inspired by calligraphy. As nearly all of the original work has been sold. I'm primarily selling limited edition facsimile giclee prints, on Saatchi, particularly only those in which at least half of the edition has already been sold.
