Original Description
Levha by Mehmed Hulusi Yazgan is a mesmerizing fusion of Ottoman calligraphic tradition with early 20th-century artistic innovation, radiating spiritual depth and visual harmony. Created during the late Ottoman period (circa 1910s), this masterpiece exemplifies Yazgan's mastery in celi sülüs script – where bold Arabic letters dance across handmade paper with rhythmic precision, often gilded with gold leaf against deep indigo or crimson backgrounds. As a leading figure in Islamic calligraphic revival, Yazgan's works bridged classical hattat (calligrapher) craftsmanship with emerging modernist sensibilities, making Levha a pivotal piece that influenced later Middle Eastern abstract art. The composition typically centers Quranic verses in dynamic equilibrium, where negative space sings as eloquently as the inked strokes. Commissioned for mosques and elite collectors during the turbulent transition to modern Turkey, these works now symbolize cultural preservation – recently gaining recognition in major auctions alongside Orientalist paintings.
For contemporary interiors, Levha commands attention best in minimalist spaces with clean sightlines. Hang it as a bold statement piece above a mid-century console in executive offices (ideal sizes: 70x100cm for walls) or float-framed in a gallery-lit hallway. The rich lapis lazuli blues harmonize spectacularly with terracotta pots and brass accessories for a wabi-sabi aesthetic, while gold-leaf details mirror metallic finishes in Art Deco furniture. In residential settings, pair smaller versions (50x70cm) with rough linen textures and matte black shelves to amplify its spiritual gravitas. Position opposite large windows where dawn light progressively illuminates the gilding – this deliberate staging echoes traditional madrasa display methods. For color enthusiasts, extend its palette through peacock-blue velvet cushions or saffron-yellow throws in adjacent seating areas, creating a dialogue between ancient artistry and modern comfort.
