CalligraphyPets

Calligraphic Style with a Modern Twist
The CalligraphyPets began Lisa’s distinctive style by modernizing calligraphy. Each line is edited into a meaningful stroke the embodies each gesture and image.

“I love playing with line: The weight, the twists and turns. The kinetic movement of line and time, and the volume that expands between it without being present.”

As a visual artist,

“I enjoy highlighting the sensual nature of all things living: the curve of the spine, the stretch of the cat, the branch of the tree and the arc of the leaf.”

Artist Statement
The calligraphic gesture series transcribes and documents the relationship of kinetic movement within time.

The work explores movements of animals, people, and objects. The gestures are purified through calligraphic line revealing only the essence of expression while maintaining spontaneity. The animals and objects become symbols and iconography that serve as a foundation for further complex study.

By editing the illustration into few lines allows the gestalt of the mass to balance with the imbued perspective of the calligraphic line. The juxtaposition of line and mass promote a harmony of movement and fixed suspension.
