The Renaissance of Pen and Ink – Exhibition of Calligraphy and Lettering Art by Aquino da Silva

阿堅奴是本地少數以英文書法為創作題材的藝術家,平面設計出身的他由於發現手繪的美好,喜歡不同紙的質感,畫寫時筆的痕跡及變化令他著迷,甚至身體之間運用的力量也是重要的感受,經過幾年的創作,把英文書法也帶到商業裡,使之得到更多的展示。

而在牛房的展覽裡,他會更進一步把平面的英文書法,與陶藝及生活實用品結合,甚至是運用空間架設裝置與間隔,使它變成一個場境。來到展場不單是看一個純粹的英文書法展,而是多元素的展覽,由作品到木製品及宣傳設計等都很有手感。在展覽前阿堅奴還專門到日本製作陶瓷,到牛房後花園做木工,所有細節及構造都是原作及手藝,在實驗、藝術與工匠之間,他想突破更深的層面,把三者同時兼顧及運用,形成一個整體效果,也是他創作中一次自我的起義。

Aquino is one of the few artists using English calligraphy creatively. With a graphic design background, he became fascinated with the beauty of hand painting, the different paper textures, traces and variations of pen strokes, and even the strength applied by different parts of the body. After a few years’ practice, he has brought English calligraphy into commercial use, thus giving the art more exposure.

In this exhibition at Ox Warehouse, the artist takes his art to another level by combining English calligraphy with ceramics and everyday utensils, and by using installations and partitions he merges his calligraphic work with the setting. Therefore this is rather a multimedia exhibition, than a mere showcase of English calligraphy, where every element, from wooden wares to promotional designs, has a delicate hand feel.

Prior to the exhibition Aquino specially went to Japan to make his own ceramics, and also did some carpentry work at Ox Warehouse backyard. With all elements being original and handcrafted, he attempts to bring the art to a higher level by integrating experimentalism, art and workmanship, to achieve a comprehensive result while starting his own creative revolution.

展覽工作坊 Workshop

在這4小時的工作坊裡,由基本書寫概念開始教起,藉由書寫者對用筆力道的控制,產生字型上的立體感,一氣喝成,重新感覺對手寫書法嘅感覺,尋找電腦字不能取代嘅質感。每位參加者將會收到一套個人的入門書法套裝,讓您可以熟習運用自己的工具作英文書法練習。導師亦會為您示範如何寫出充滿藝術感的英文字母。完成工作坊後,您便有能力延續自己的英文書法3練習了!

You can write A to Z but the writing is not beautiful at all? Or is it faltering, as if blown by the wind? Now, it’s time to reappraise English calligraphy, learning how to write the classical style Copperplate fonts, rendering elegant, thin or thick strokes with a dip pen.

In this 4-hour workshop, the hosting artist will teach basic calligraphic concepts and how to apply strength on writing in order to generate a calligraphic sculptural touch, so as to rediscover the charm of handwriting, in search of a texture unattainable by computer-generated characters.

Each participant will receive a basic calligraphy kit that enables one to practice English calligraphy independently. The tutor will also show how to write artsy English letters, preparing participants to carry on by themselves the calligraphy exercises.
