Husin Hourmain is a 61-year-old Malaysian artist known for his contemporary Jawi calligraphy. His recent exhibition showcased his decade-long exploration of artistic forms and materials to present contemporary Jawi calligraphy. Husin believes in recording his thoughts and concepts through sketches and notes before translating them onto canvas or installations. He has pushed artistic boundaries and fostered an appreciation for Islamic art and culture through his work. Husin also emphasizes the need for more initiatives from independent galleries and art venues to sustain a dynamic art scene in Malaysia. [Extracted from the article]
