Idris Abdulwahab

Idris Abdulwahab, is a UK born, Abuja based artist. His work explores Arabic calligraphy and scripts which dates back to the 7th century, where the deep devotion to the words were translated into a beautiful transcription.Yet, he puts them through abstract and contemporary mediums, exploring the connection between script, interpretation, colour fields and texture, and how this interplay amplifies the poetic and aesthetic structure of the art. Birthing a distinguishable and unique artistic style at the convergence of the old and new.
