Geometric, floral and abstract motifs are major characteristics of Islamic art, these complex and repetitive designs are used as a reminder of the infinite nature of God. Not only are they found in manuscripts in the form of illuminations, but we can also see them decorating the facades of palaces and mosques (such as the arabesque). In this workshop, Zarah Hussain will introduce participants to the principles of Islamic art and geometry that is found in architecture and manuscripts around the world.Zarah Hussain is a British artist. Her practice is a visual examination of how spirituality, technology, and art connect. Hussain integrates the pattern-making abilities of conventional mathematics with modern art across a variety of genres, including animation, sculpture, and painting. Hussain has established a creative language that reflects both the aesthetic traditions of traditional Islamic design and modern Western society.
