Asleep in spring I did not heed the dawn
Till the birds broke out singing everywhere.
Last night, in the clamor of wind and rain,
How many flowers have fallen
do you suppose?

Disciplined Spontaneity
Disciplined!
...yet fluid and spontaneous, improvised at the
moment of writing the frame of mind of the
artist is a disciplined spontaneity.
Rhythm, Momentum and Mental Expression
The magic of calligraphy is that it transforms
your soul! To do this you must train yourself to
become attuned to the artwork. You tune yourself
into the artwork by observing with a quiet and
calm mind. Your mind and heart will match the
rhythm, momentum and mental expression of the
artist. This is what makes Chinese brushwork
such a valuable art form in Asia. The ability of
an artist to create artwork that transforms and
transports the soul and spirit of the tranquil
heart!
Zen of calligraphy
Rhythm, momentum and mental expression is what
calligraphy requires of the artist. When the
viewer appreciates a masterpiece of calligraphy
the viewer puts themselves on the same
wavelength as the artist. The viewer simply
observes with an empty and tranquil mind. This
is the Zen of calligraphy. |
