There are only a few weeks left until a milestone event — the launch of the II International Exhibition of Calligraphy — and preparations are already well under way. These days, original and interesting works are enlarging the project collection more than ever. We got more than 60 works by Russian and foreign authors specially created for the project. New masterpieces are distinguished striking originality, expressiveness and unusual technique.
For example, the new works of Mari Emily Bohley (Germany) are remarkable by their color, complex texture, and original combination of gouache, acrylic paints and gold. A virtuoso of refined and delicate calligraphy, Jean Larcher (France) sent an amazingly complex work, Journey to the Latin alphabet —the realistically depicted ladybug makes the journey. A large-scale work by Katharina Pieper (Germany) is multi-layered and diverse — she compares the human’s soul to a fiery and passionate dancer. New works by Hans Maierhofer (Germany) will be interesting to the lovers of clear and concise calligraphy when brushwork is the only self-sufficient and visual vehicle. A bright oriental color fulfills works by the new project participants: Qamar Dagar (India), Jamshed Qaisar (Pakistan), as well as the works of a Syrian artist, Mohammad Abdullah Ghannoum.
Quite striking in the technique are the works of another project member — an Italian artist, Barbara Calzolari, — who uses old and crumbling paper and fabric as a material for her works. Multiple canvases, embroidered with countless lines, are reminiscent of old quilts, why look especially warm and cozy. Barbara’s pictures are clear samples of female calligraphy expressing the rich sensual and emotional world.
New works will undoubtedly surprise and become a source of inspiration for designers, artists and connoisseurs of beauty and harmony.
