Provenance : Provenance: Property from a private collection, London Exhibited: Ali Omar Ermes: Works on Paper, Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 1992 Published: Illustrated: 'Ali Omar Ermes. Art and Ideas. Works on Paper at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 29 January-23 February 1992', Saffron/Eastern Art Report, London 1991 no.7 p.20. 'For me, personally, among what I wanted to explore was the static power of the letter; sometimes the single letter has such a powerful impact on its own that you don't actually need to put hundreds of tiny letters around it, or create a patchwork or pattern out of letters. Arabic is an ideal visual form, and the musicality in the movement of the letterform contains a poetry not only defined by its literal expression but also in its silent music, its use of space and colour' -Ali Omar Ermes
