TOO HARAM FOR HALAL PEOPLE, TOO HALAL FOR HARAM PEOPLE.

 

Ghaleb Hawila, Arabic Calligraphy Artist, born in 1992 in Borj el Chemali, Tyre, south of Lebanon. He studied Graphic Design as an undergraduate and then went on to study the classical art of Arabic calligraphy with acclaimed masters.

Fascinated by the endless possibilities of this timeless art, Ghaleb seeks to approach it with a new eye. His work comes from deep understanding of Middle-Eastern heritage, spiritual paths, and continuous search for origin, cause and effect. His work “Nuqta” participated in The Sharjah Calligraphy Biennial 8th edition 2018, and then in 2020 at the French Institution in Beirut. His work on streets is now spread between the UK and Beirut and participated in a number of collective exhibitions. His work was also showcased in the Urban Art Biennale in Germany in 2018 and at the Dubai Opera in 2021 with the Khawla Art and Culture Foundation.
