About Solaris Asemic Calligraphy
Solaris is a triptych of asemic calligraphy works made as wall art. The three pieces are titled The Sun, The Ocean and The Library, and they share one visual style. Each piece measures 700 by 700 by 20 millimeters and is written by hand with colored pens and golden and silver markers on colored paper. The written forms carry no fixed meaning, so every viewer can form a personal reading. The circular composition required careful control to keep the letters even in size along each line. Solaris is presented without a frame.
Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- The asemic calligraphy is really unique art which combines the beauty of classical calligraphy, as well as the rhythm of dance, poetry, music. This type of the asemic text has no logical meaning that creates really free space for the imagination activation. That is why any viewer becomes as co-creator of the artist and makes own (new) meanings of the art. In interior, the asemic graphic looks like the unique decor and set up an intelligent and creative atmosphere.
