ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The poem "Untitled" by Scottish poet Tom Pow is written twice in the Diwani Jali Arabic calligraphy script to create the image of a man and child, hand in hand. (See below for translation) Signed Limited Edition Print 33 of 50, printed on high quality 220gsm paper. Dimensions: 46x34cm This piece was one of eight, commissioned by the Reels Festivals to accompany their poetry publication featuring contemporary poets from Lebanon, Syria, and Scotland. One piece was commissioned for each of the eight poets featured in the festival. In preparation for the festival, all of the poets travelled to Lebanon in order to translate each others poems from Arabic to English and vice versa. Shipping includes tracking and insurance, anywhere in the world. The price of this print will change and is determined by the number of unsold prints remaining in the edition. UNTITLED A man and a woman once sat down at a bare table and looked out at the sky. What needs to be done? they asked, so that, in later years, their children or their grandchildren might ask, What shall we do today? By Tom Pow Translation by Mazen Maarouf and Lauren Pyott

Everitte Barbee
Lebanon
Born 1988 in Nashville, Tennessee Currently working from my atelier in Beirut, Lebanon since 2011, I continue to pursue my education and understanding of Islamic Art and calligraphy. Working in the Diwani, Diwani Jali and square Kufic scripts, I use the words to create illustrations ranging from portraits to geometric abstract constructions. The work celebrates Middle Eastern and Islamic culture in addition to focusing on human rights in the post colonial era, with an emphasis on American and western foreign policy. With few calligraphers who use their words to illustrate rather than write, my greatest inspiration comes from Jila Peacock, and Hassan Musa. My aim is to eventually achieve the flawless legibility of Peacock's work while also grasping the visual accuracy with which Hassan Musa illegibly creates his animals and figures, using shapes and strokes inspired by calligraphy. As nearly all of the original work has been sold. I'm primarily selling limited edition facsimile giclee prints, on Saatchi, particularly only those in which at least half of the edition has already been sold.
