Alisan Fine Arts will soon be hosting the second part of the two-part group exhibition titled "The Voice of the Brush", from August 8, 2018.The two part exhibition will feature nine artists who will exhibit unique revitalizations of classical calligraphy, spanning the gamut of movements within modern calligraphy. The artists in Part II include internationally known Chu Chu, Hao Shiming, Lee Chun-yi, and Wei Ligang, as well as French artist Fabienne Verdier. These artists remove the characters from their textual context and treat them as artistic images in themselves, employing them as means for expressing individualism and contemporary ideas.Chu Chu is an accomplished ink painter, calligrapher, photographer, and oil painter. She is currently the Vice Secretary of Lanting Calligraphy Society, and the Vice President of Zhejiang female Calligraphers Association in Hangzhou.Born in 1977 Heze, Shandong, Hao Shiming is a Beijing artist who attempts to extract line, which is the purest element, from traditional ink painting and thus transform and reconstruct it.Born in Taiwan in 1965, the cosmopolitan diaspora artist Lee Chun-yi moved to Hong Kong as a youth, pursued graduate studies in the United States, and returned to Taiwan to embark on an artistic career. With a revolutionary method departing from the conventional use of a paintbrush, Lee Chun-Yi employs calligraphy through the use of Chinese seals and ink rubbings.Well-known French abstract artist, Fabienne Verdier was born in Paris, France in 1962. Rebellious by nature, Verdier graduated from her art school in Toulouse with a first-class degree in 1984, and was subsequently awarded a study grant to learn calligraphy in Chongqing as part of a student exchange program between the two cities. She currently works in France and has exhibited her work internationally.Originally trained in mathematics and classic calligraphy, Wei Ligang (born 1964) tapped into his analytic genius to revolutionize traditional calligraphy into a purely abstract art. He has been experimenting in new materials like lacquer and propylene, with the aim to bridge the divide between avant-garde calligraphy and Western art forms.The exhibition will be on view through September 8, 2018, at Alisan Fine Arts, 2305 Hing Wai Centre, 7 Tin Wan Praya Road, Aberdeen, Hong Kong.For details visit: http://www.blouinartinfo.com/galleryguide/alisan-fine-arts/overviewClick on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the exhibition.www.blouinartinfo.com Founder: Louise Blouin
