Hanging scroll · Hanging scrolls provide the artist with a vertical format for an image. The painting surface of paper or silk is mounted with decorative silk borders. A wooden rod is attached at the bottom to give the scroll the necessary weight to hang smoothly on a wall, as well as a means of being rolled up for storage. A thin wooden strip with a cord is attached at the top for hanging the scroll. The composition of a hanging scroll usually places the foreground at the bottom of the scroll with the middle and far distances moving upward toward the top of the scroll. Hanging scrolls are displayed only for short periods of time and are then rolled up from bottom to top and secured with ties for storage.

Hajji Noor Deen Mi Guang Jiang
SL-M-005, 17.2" X 49.2" (2006)
Haji Noor Deen Mi Guang Jiang is a renowned master of Arabic calligraphy. Born in 1963 in
Shangdong province, China, he brings an immense learning in traditional thought and Islamic art
to a modern audience, juxtaposing them in a new calligraphic style all his own, both Eastern and
Western.
In China, calligraphy is considered a higher or purer form of artistic expression than painting. Both verbal and visual communication can be achieved with a single Chinese character.
"extraordinary mastery and genius a
unique ability to spectacularly
deliver."
The Chinese and Arabic calligraphic traditions have often been compared as the two of the world's finest manifestations of the written word, but never likened; indeed, they are at once opposites and complements. When combined the result is an artistic piece that is a work of incredibly unique beauty, and a testimony to man's synthesizing genius.
