Practice of Design Principles in the Qur’ānic Calligraphy of Binqulander

Abstract

Calligraphic art in Pakistan is one of the major art forms of Fine Arts and Design practices. It is a popular art form, because of its religious importance and secular appeal. Calligraphic art is based upon Quranic Verses written in the beautiful script. It can be called a traditional genre of art and design. This study is an attempt to explore Binqulander’s calligraphic art from aesthetic point of view as well as high scale design compositions with color and text and his work as a reflection of formal art & design learning from Pakistan. The methodology adopted for this study is based upon extrinsic and intrinsic analysis. It will particularly focus on its aesthetics and underling philosophical concepts. Binqulander is one of the most renowned trendsetters of this generation.
