Mapping the Unseen

Ahmed Moustafa

Jeremy Theophilus

 

Dr Ahmed Moustafa is an artist and scholar of international repute and a leading authority on Arabic art and design. He was initially trained as a figurative artist in the neo-classical European tradition. Through rediscovering his Islamic roots, his work is now almost exclusively devoted to abstract compositions inspired by texts from the Holy Qur’an and Arabic tradition.

Moustafa creates striking images by fusing classical European painting techniques and the exacting discipline of Islamic calligraphy. 'Mapping the Unseen' was a touring exhibition organised by UH Galleries and supported by Arts Council England.
