Ali Omar Ermes
Salaam, peace and blessings to all the readers.
Plus…to everyone that is fasting in the month of Ramadan - Ramadan Kareem!!!
Yes the month of Ramadan is upon us and I don’t know about you guys but I am sooooooooo thirsty right now!!!!
Anyways, enough about me – Let me find you an artist to learn about.
This week I have chosen, Ali Omar Ermes.
Ali Omar Ermes is a painter whose work is dedicated to the exploration and expression of Arabic typography and whose work is an accolade to Islam and its identity.
He is an international artist whose artwork is principally based on the Arabic letter forms. He paints on various canvases, in single or multiple colours applied with large brushes mainly on specially hand-made paper.
He combines in his paintings excerpts from world literature, mainly Arabic/Islamic poetry and prose and uses them as comments on human values such as justice, peace, human rights, protection of the environment and moral and social responsibilities.
