Kakemono – the end

Here it is at last. It would have been much longer than what I thought but the result is worth it, isn’t it ?

Kakemono 3

It is quite long to paint filigrees on cloth, what you see here took me almost half a day, not to mention the smell of the paint which gives headaches…

Kakemono – the comeback

Second step of the kakemono. Only have to add filigrees in the B now.

Kakemono

First step of the kakemono which will advertise the entrance of my gallery.

Still a lot of work to do…

This sentence is not by me but by Kierkegaard. I always find it difficult to calligraphy a single short sentence, composition options are too reduced unless one launches into excessive ornementation.
Other thought that has nothing to do with the previous statement, I’m fascinated by zebra crossing textures for a while now.
The conjunction of these two observations gave me the idea of working on Kierkegaard’s sentence using the morse code and playing with the texture of dash and points.

It’s a first draft, I already identified some of its weaknesses and hope to correct them into the next version, anyway, I’m quite happy with some of the textures obtained.

… a little natural whiteness

Here is a new version of a text by André Gide that I already calligraphied for my professor.
This time I took only the last part of the text and wrote without any ruling to guide me. As for the decoration, I reused an embossed stained glass pattern previously utilized in other works.

To see the whole work, follow the link to the gallery.

On the wall – 5

Probably the final version of this work.
I added a fragment of Petronius’ Satiricon (bottom right) in Luxeuil’s script and calligraphied a large cadel initial later highlighted in black to enhance the visibility.

The wall will remain like until the end of the year then I will erase all white a coat of white paint before starting another work.

The Flies – final version

I’ve just finished with my version of the text from The Flies by Jean-Paul Sartre.

You can see the whole work by clicking here.

As it is quite long, one cannot really see anything on this pic, that’s why I took close-ups :

On the wall – 4

Back to black to add this time a fragment of De Tranquillitate Animi by Lucius Annaeus Seneca.

For this new addition, I used a visigothic script with a larger brush.

On the wall – 3

This is the next step in the calligraphy on my wall, this time the text is a fragment from Der Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse in its french version and with a gothic script.

Two steps to go and this work will be over.
