JEDDAH: A new exhibition titled “Geometry of Beauty: A Language to Read or an Equation to Solve?” has opened at MNWR Space in Jeddah, bringing together 28 artists whose works explore art, science and spirituality through Islamic geometry and Arabic calligraphy.
Presented by MNWR in collaboration with Hafez Gallery and Makhtut Studio and curated by Abdelrahman Elshahed, the exhibition runs until Nov. 7.
Qaswra Hafez, founder of Hafez Gallery, outlined the aim of the exhibition.
“‘Geometry of Beauty’ is born from our dedication for uniting traditional and contemporary approaches, inviting artists to explore whether beauty is a language we speak or an equation we uncover; from the orbit of an atom to the sacred circle of the pilgrim’s tawaf (circumambulation around the Kaaba).”
Hafez said the collaboration with MNWR Space and Makhtut Studio “brings this exploration full circle, revealing how Islamic geometry and Arabic calligraphy address universal questions of form and meaning that can speak directly to today’s audience.”
