Crossroads at Calligraphic Art...



The combination of Chinese ideograms and Arabic-styled calligraphic works makes for beautifully artistic pieces. I don't think it would be too unfair to argue that for a lot of countries and cultures, the Islamic one - especially in our post 9/11 world - might be regarded under a very suspicious light, more so than other foreign cultures.

With that in mind, I'd say it's quite remarkable to see a combination of Arabian-styled calligraphy (which looks distinctively 'Muslim' in appearance) with Chinese artistic finesse.
