Specialist note
This spectacular painting is one of the largest works by Mohammed Ehsai.
Trained first as a calligrapher, Ehsai's large scale paintings demonstrate his mastery of the craft. In his works, the intertwined letters are not meant to be read. Rather, their abstract form, which visualizes the meaning of the text, is to be contemplated by the viewer.
