Hassan Massoudy incorporates calligraphy into his art practice in order to modernise traditional Arabic scripture and find parallels with abstract art.
Massoudy’s work has been exhibited in numerous museums and galleries worldwide and can be seen in the permanent collections of the Sharjah Art Museum; British Museum, London; Osaka Museum, Japan and several museums in the Netherlands.
In addition to studies of traditional Arabic calligraphy, he has published a number of books on his modern work.

Calligraphy enjoys the same expressive abilities as poetry, since all the arts are interrelated, each one paving the way for the other.
