Original Description
The mesmerizing Oklu Besmele by renowned Turkish neyzen (reed flute player) and artist Emin Yazıcı is a captivating blend of classical Islamic calligraphy and contemporary art. This striking work centers on the sacred Islamic phrase "Bismillah" (In the name of God), rendered in bold, gold-leafed Ottoman-style script against a deeply textured indigo background that recalls both traditional Arabic manuscript illumination and abstract expressionism. Painted with Yazıcı’s signature hybrid technique—where rhythmic ney (flute) strokes influence his brushwork—the piece exudes spiritual dynamism, as if the sacred words vibrate with musical energy. Emerging in the late 20th century amongst Turkey’s neo-calligraphy movement, Yazıcı’s works bridge sacred art traditions with modern aesthetics, making Oklu Besmele particularly significant for collectors of Islamic contemporary art and those intrigued by cross-cultural spiritual expressions.
For spaces seeking serene sophistication, Oklu Besmele makes a transcendent focal point. In a minimalist office, position it above a walnut console or leather sofa, allowing the gold script to contrast elegantly with matte walls (charcoal or warm beige). The indigo backdrop pairs beautifully with brass accents, Persian rugs in sapphire tones, or mid-century modern furniture. At home, hang it in a prayer nook flanked by hand-carved wooden shelves or a living room with linen upholstery to emphasize its tactile quality. Choose a frame in blackened steel or gilded wood for cohesion. Given its typical large scale (often 100x70cm), ensure ample wall space—avoid cluttering nearby with smaller artworks. For balance, complement it with Yazıcı’s smaller abstract calligraphies or subdued ceramic vases in cobalt glaze, creating a curated dialogue between tradition and modernity.
