Iran Cultural Centre (ICC) in Malaysia’s capital, Kuala Lumpur, has been displaying an exhibition of Islamic artworks.

The exhibition, titled ‘Malaysia-Iran Islamic Art Exhibition’, features artworks such as calligraphy, Qur’anic verses, photography, sculpture, geometric shapes and motifs of flora and fauna, scenery and natural beauty.

Organized by the Visual Arts Department of Universiti Selangor in collaboration with the ICC, the exhibition presents about 120 artworks from 60 Malaysian and Iranian artists, as well as from ICC’s collection.  

One of the artworks on display is an Arabic calligraphy mixed-media oil painting with gold paper 3D effect, featuring verses from Surah Ar-Rahman.

The show is a cross-cultural event that aims to promote interaction and connect people, especially between Malaysians and Iranians who share a quite similar Islamic culture.
