Abdushakur (i.e. Slave of The Most Appreciative [Allah]) is a New York City artist based in the United Kingdom, specializing in contemporary Islamic art with a focus on patience, the Oneness of Allah, and devotion. His work emerges from a vision painstakingly transcribed using a .30mm Staedtler Marsmatic technical pen and Dr. Ph. Martin’s Black Star Hi-Carb India ink. Abdushakur primarily works on archival fine art paper, creating patterns of apparent infinity and intricate detail that reflect a patient commitment to quality and profound expression. His exploration of Islamic themes offers a unique perspective, making his art both visually compelling and thought-provoking.
His opus, Ṣahīfatu aṣ-Ṣabr (The Scroll of Patience), exemplifies his signature style, referred to as The Art of the Infinite Pattern™, an epithet for the timeless essence of Islamic art. Abdushakur’s work is highly sought after by collectors who value originality and depth, with each piece presenting a meticulously crafted composition. His art resonates with those seeking a profound, transformative and spiritual experience, seamlessly blending tradition with a visual expression that is as contemporary as it is authentically Islamic.
