A "script writer" showcases her calligraphy

An exhibition featuring 60 calligraphic art pieces opened at Ejaz Art Gallery here on Thursday evening.

Calligraphy artist Noreen Akhtar said it took her about five months to complete the pieces in her first solo show that continue from her previously exhibited work. Akhtar, who recently completed her master’s in fine arts from the College of Art and Design at the University of the Punjab, says she had decided to paint Arabic alphabets to improve her calligraphy technique.

In 2012, she had displayed a series of calligraphy pieces at the Ejaz Art Gallery in a group show. Akhtar said she had named the exhibition Nukta because a dot sets one alphabet apart from another in Arabic and in Urdu.
