Actually I didn’t know much about Chinese calligraphy techniques but since this work (HAN) caught my attention I did a little research. So I learned that to understand Chinese calligraphy first thing you have to know that in Chinese society script has a close connection with language and art.
There was a huge difference. In Western society we see the words and not the writing. But words have a sound, a movement, they even a texture and there was André Kneib who made this all visible to me.
Starting with a single Chinese character inspired by a feeling or experience, he infuses traditionally monochromatic characters with color, using lyrical abstraction coupled with calligraphy techniques
His characters come to life because of the varying pressure and movement of his brushstrokes, expressing emotions and physical engagement and capture the inner essence of the word.
