Qorban Ali Ajali Vaseq (Template:Lang-fa; pen name, Vassegh; born February 8, 1939) is a master calligrapher and poet, noted for founding the "Gol Gasht" school of calligraphy, characterised by a dense and interlocking play of the Arabic script, a distinctive style now regularly used by Arab and Iranian calligraphers in artworks.
Life and career
Ali Adjalli was born in Mianeh, Iran, on February 8, 1939. He completed his schooling in Mianeh and at Tehran’s Lycée Français, following that with a degree in Interior Architecture from Tehran’s College of Design. Returning to his childhood love of painting, Adjalli then studied calligraphy and calligraphic painting under the direction, at various times, of every Iranian calligraphy master.
Shortly after completing his studies, Adjalli developed a new style of calligraphy which he called Gol Gasht,[1][2][3][4] characterised by dense, interlocking style of Arabic script intended for use in painting rather than manuscripts. The script has been described as both "mesmerising and chaotic". [5]
Apart from his work as an artist and poet (writing under the pen name of Vassegh), he began a career as an educator in 1974, becoming a university lecturer on fine arts, and then Master of Calligraphy at numerous institutions including the prestigious Calligraphy Academy of Iran.
Work
While Adjalli has exhibited his works at various institutions and galleries, including solo exhibitions at the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art and at the Niavaran Palace Institute, Adjalli’s private nature has prevented the wide dissemination of his works, leaving them mostly within the reach of public and private collections.[6]
