An Attempt to Understand Islamic Arts with Deconstruction

Deconstruction is not about destroying a whole, but about understanding how it is constructed. It is first taking it apart and then trying to understand the whole. It can also be considered as a kind of self-criticism towards the work of art, which is deconstructed to create...

description Deconstruction is not about destroying a whole, but about understanding how it is constructed. It is first taking it apart and then trying to understand the whole. It can also be considered as a kind of self-criticism towards the work of art, which is deconstructed to create paradoxical situations and reconstruct it. It is the breaking down of fundamentalism, of stereotypes, of traditional thought patterns, and the search for new ways and different motivational methodologies in the inspiration jargon of Islamic art. This study is not a technical roadmap on how to apply deconstruction in Islamic arts or the methods by which deconstruction can be realized in Islamic arts. On the contrary, it is based on the hypothesis that some intellectual gaps, contradictions and information pollution can be found by re-evaluating and deconstructing the ornamental and decorative elements of Islamic arts such as architecture, metal, wood, stone, brick, tile, ceramic, calligraphy, miniature, illumination, illumination, binding, marbling, etc. from the perspective of the 21st century consciousness thinking, perception, power to interpret the world, etc. Cult is the reversal of canonical clichés, structures, compositions. Indeed, in an example where cultural and artistic interaction is deconstructed, it is demonstrated that new answers can be found with different questions. Deconstruction in Islamic art is a movement that shows that art is not only an aesthetic experience, but also carries historical, cultural and political meanings, since it is the acknowledgment of the influences of different cultures and traditions rather than a single universal art form.
