Abstract

This study aims to investigate in greater depth the application of Islamic calligraphy and to create sculptures. It is hoped that the sculptures created will help explain Islamic calligraphy, which has been transformed into dynamic elements that interact with physical space and is twisted, interlocked, intertwined, and represent cultural symbols. The sculpture created is also intended to distinguish crafts and fine art on a grander scale. In addition, the concept of intertextuality will assist this project in providing a clear context for the artwork. Indeed, the addition to formalistic studies leads to the development of form and appearance. The emphasis should be placed on the content and meaning of the work produced.

Highlights

  • My idea is about the Islamic calligraphy and Jawi script

  • As a Malay Muslim, I am interested in exploring Islamic calligraphy to show my belief and faith

  • To sum up, in Malaysia, there are very few sculptors who produced artworks that are based on Jawi calligraphy

Summary

Introduction

My idea is about the Islamic calligraphy and Jawi script. I will look at the local and Middle Eastern artists who use Islamic calligraphy to inspire and study composition, style, and design. Islamic calligraphy writing is only a two-dimensional shape, but it can be developed into a three-dimensional form. It can attract the public to appreciate Islamic calligraphy, Jawi writing (Shamsuddin, 1986; Rahman, 2010), and sculpture simultaneously. Combining Islamic calligraphy and sculpture will give more interesting elements such as dynamic, flow, movement, physical space, interlocking and many more. These new elements can take Islamic calligraphy to another level and create more potential and possible ideas to explore in the future
