Or as “Brent rocha” sees that " art is an expression or expressive language in which the artist
through this creative process provide new and different thing from reality even if it emerge
from it in most cases.". Al Hajri artworks tend to "stenography, and giving the design processing
of the surface on the artwork, the first priority in visual and fine art vision" (al-Husseini, 2013).
2. The beauty lies in this regard that the receiver "reread the Arabic painting with the
contemporary vision, make them closer to the painting designs" (al-Husseini, 2013).
Al Hajri builds his paintings away from the compacting of letters and representing them as if
they are only forms, but the process of construction is done with thinking and mediation for
building and distributing the blocks in order to reach multiple and renewable meanings. In this
sense, Husseini confirmed (2013) on this value, saying: "The experience of Arabic writing and
passion sufismWith fruitful respect for the modern science, and the contemporary techniques
that strengthen faith, and remove all doubt in this world and its mortal time, writing or
calligraphy is a spiritual luxurious that comes from deep and pure soul. In this sense, practice is
a creative activity, for meditation and expression that seeks to break the inherited artistic
traditions, and with conscious spirit that employs letters in order to achieve spiritual, functional
aesthetic dimensions.
Some abstract artworks took the direction of expressive and influential trend. As for the themes
of paintings, there were a variety of themes like the Omani historical motives. As well as he
recalls the memories of the village in a romantic sense and visualized the palm trees and old
houses.
Thoughtfully Al Hajri provided his calligraphy art in this exhibition so that most vertical letters
are lined in a way to provide in order to bring rich and renewable visual representations. Thus
the painting as a whole appears as an integrated, harmonious and coherent artwork. These
artworks provide new concepts and contrary definitions to the most common shapes in Arabic
calligraphy, through experimentation in a new world that is filled with choices, color
relationships and new shapes. Thus confirming the need for experimentation process to bring
life according to a new artistic vision and philosophy of beauty that takes experimentation as
basis for it. At first the relying was intensive on the organization of the letters and relationships
with spontaneity and simplicity in the organization of items.
And then the philosophical and aesthetic vision of the Al Hajri has become deeper and more
reflective and therefore getting more meanings and visual symbols with direct and indirect
indications. This was clear from description mentioned by al-Husseini (2013) when he said:
"When the letters are naturally repeated as the product for (Mashaq) calligrapher, he is
transferring all its aesthetic properties into another area linked to the rhythm.
There is no doubt that working as an assistant professor of art and design, and scientific
research has supported Al Hajri to look for a contemporary western experiences that in a way
or another influenced the philosophical and conceptual thought on the concept of art to him. Al
Hajri practiced doing abstract and expressive art, and he was greatly influenced by the work of
3. both, the artist "Paul Klee" and artist "Kandinsky". As many studies have confirmed that all art
is an expressive language”.
