Idris Abdulwahab, currently working and based in Lagos, Nigeria was born in Wetminister in London in 1994. He grew up in Zaria, Kaduna state, currently his home town. His inclination towards Arabic calligraphy manfested in his teenage years, and he was fascinated by the Arab culture,specifially to the art of its writting in books and magazines. Idris explored Arabic calligraphy by practicing with letters and scripts, peculiarly the traditional Arabic scripts of Deewani, Naskh and other stlyles using ink on paper. His practice developed over the years to a contemporary approach, using acrylic paint on canvas as his medium. He currently uses experiences and feelings as an exchange between the meaning behind each design, and the forms they create.
