    Calligrapher 15 December 2025 - 15 February 2026

    Alibaba Awrang is a celebrated Afghan painter and master calligrapher whose work blends classical Islamic traditions with contemporary visual language. Trained in Shiraz and Tehran and shaped by years of teaching at Kabul’s Turquoise Mountain Institute, Awrang’s practice reflects a deep devotion to spirituality, poetry, and cultural memory. Now based in Connecticut after his 2021 evacuation from Afghanistan, he continues to create richly layered works that honor his heritage while exploring new artistic landscapes.
    Awrang’s paintings merge calligraphy, geometry, and bold color to create meditative, architectural compositions. Each piece is built through meticulous layers of ink, gold, and pigment, where fragments of poetry, historical scripts, and symbolic forms drift between abstraction and text. His surfaces feel both ancient and contemporary, echoing illuminated manuscripts, sacred architecture, and the rhythmic flow of classical calligraphy. Through this fusion, Awrang transforms language into visual light, offering viewers a space of contemplation, resilience, and cultural continuity.

    Art Hansen

    Printmaker

    Art Hansen (1929–2017) was an American painter and printmaker known for his intimate portrayals of nature and everyday surroundings. Born on Vashon Island, Washington, he developed a lifelong connection to the quiet landscapes, gardens, and rural scenes that became central to his artistic voice.
    Hansen’s work is defined by its simplicity, calmness, and technical precision. Through etchings, watercolors, oils, and pen-and-ink drawings, he captured delicate moments in nature, flowers, ponds, fields, and trees, rendered with a gentle, observant eye. His compositions often feel serene and meditative, reflecting an artist deeply attuned to the subtle beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Hansen’s prints are noted for their clean lines, fine detail, and a quiet emotional presence that invites viewers to slow down and experience the stillness within his scenes.

    What exactly is interactive art? How do I blend mechanics and aesthetics? What do I convey through my kinetic sculptures? These are the questions I have pondered throughout my career as an artist.  

    I create my sculpture to interact with people and solve riddles of landscape both interior and exterior.  

    It is not always easy to blend functionality with form. Only a few of the kinetic sculptures I dream of, are ever realized. 

    Each design starts as a rough sketch on paper. Periodically I sift through my sketches and execute the most intriguing. From there I work methodically: sizing the parts, figuring the mechanics, perfecting the rotations, developing the prototypes. When the design is done, I print the final drawings at full scale. Then I engineer and make the parts with a combination of industrial processes and hand working, this includes every piece: pillars, metal elements, glass cups, hubs and transitions. Each piece is fabricated by hand.

    Walking into my studio, I put pen to the blank page, or my hands on the raw stone, steel, or clay. What comes next is what comes next, making the unknown known.  

    My interpretation of my art is only one perspective. No one needs my permission to see sculpture or poetry in a way that pleases or moves them. It is a compliment for me if one finds their own words through mine, if a child is drawn to touch one of my sculptures, or a dog barks or growls at a piece.  

    Whether we are actors, musicians, painters, writers, or sculptors, the responsibility to put our hands, metaphorically speaking, into the clay is ours and ours alone. 

    I only pray that it is for the good of humankind.
