Calligraphy Exhibition 'Jehan e Saeed' attracts art lovers at Satrang Art Gallery Islamabad
Islamabad - (Adnan Hameed) : Satrang Art Gallery organized a Solo exhibition titled JEHAN E SAEED featuring the Islamic Calligraphy works of Hafiz Saeed Ahmed at Serena Hotel, Islamabad on 15th March 2023. Director Satrang Art Gallery Ms Asma Rashid Khan welcomed and briefed the audience alongwith Artist about the salient features of the calligraphy exhibition. The art of Islamic penmanship is a bridge between the spiritual and material, the visual and the verbal. It is a living tradition that has the capacity for self-renewal enabling Hafiz Saeed Ahmad to adopt a contemporary approach while remaining true to his artistic heritage and the many years of study, linking him to the calligraphy masters of the past. Mr Saeed always knew deep down that this was a possibility. “Never underestimate Allah’s generosity. He might raise you many degrees by one simple, sincere effort.” As He pen each Arabic letter hoping to improve his flow with the kalam, the anticipation of suddenly happening upon a treasure of meaning has turned his sometime hobby into an occupation that fortifies his faith and proves a reliable antidote to stress and sullenness. Hafiz Saeed Ahmad was awarded the Degree in Calligraphy from "Calligraphic Academy", Lahore. He is currently working as a Calligraphy Teacher in National College of Arts. The artist was awarded a special award during Calligraphic completion on Badahahi Mosque, Lahore in 2008. Hafiz Saeed Ahmad is one of Pakistan’s preeminent calligraphers whose artworks are on display in some of the most prestigious museums (like University of British Columbia, through its Museum of Anthropology- 2022) and private collections. Mr. Yousuf, who visited the exhibition, described it as a confluence of spirituality and culture. “The calligraphy show by young calligraphist connects us with God and the holy book,” he said. The calligraphy exhibition will continue till 10 April 2023.
