Islamic Square Kufic Script

Square Kufic Script Contemporary Calligrapy Art

Art in Islam follows the tradition of being non representational, especially in important circumstances such as in the mosque, writing and illumination. The strict style, influenced from the nomadic surroundings when Islam emerged, which restricted the medium of visual decorative art, gives it special appeal, being non-individualistic and not adherent to scale. In writing Square Kufic is the essence of this tradition in its abstract stylized form of the traditional archaic Kufic script. The inception of square kufic derived from the contact between Islam and China around a thousand years ago. A simple adaptation of Arabic kufic script into the mold of Chinese seal script; created a medium that is unique to human civilization; a perpetually modern medium of representing the divine word. Square Kufic is also known as geometric, rectangular, quadrangular, rectilinear or geometric Kufic. When used to create geometric patterns with alternating glazed tiles with plain bricks, it can sometimes be referred to with a Farsi word banna-i. If the brickwork design is in relief then it is referred to with the Farsi word hazarbaf (hazar baf).
