Artist Statement
Motion in Calligraphy
The art form itself is the message of information endowing
the fresh vigorous visual to reveal the vitality of this
classical art, so to explore the varieties of traditional
and contemporary approaches.
A momentary touch of the brush stroke captures the
fleeting moment of the spiritual realm;
this renovated art form echoes our modern sentiment.
It is the fulfillment of the cultural complexity and the
opening the state of the minds.
Is this calligraphy or painting?
Forms?
Styles?
Definitions?
Meaning ...
Does it matter?
-Henry Ho
