Design Details

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.
Inspiration
The author reflects on what creates and supports life? Sunlight, water and knowledges... Three three graphic works were as an aswer to me were: "The Sun", "The Ocean", "The Library", which united as triptych by one title "Solaris" and the series "J'existe !".
Research
Pattern of the tree rings. Street art in France. Graphical experiments of russian poet Vl. Mayakovsky. Art-poetry by Ilyazd (I. Zdanevich). Japanese calligraphy and literature "Genji monogatari" by M. Shikibu. Photos by B. Kolarova "Radiogram of a Circle". G. Apollinaire poems as caligrama. W. Kandinsky "Elemental Effect", Tibetan ancient text and text as mantra. Methods: asemic calligraphy. Tools: paper, pen, marker, ink. Results: asemic calligraphy “Solaris”
Challenge
Each calligraphy has written by handmade. it was necessary to maintain attention to writing large text, wich was inscribed in a circle, and this required the balance and equilibrium for take the permanent size of the letters in the lines. Also, it needed to follow the same style of design that all three graphics looks as one message. The designer overcame all these difficulties and created an unique product.
Realization and Technology
Colored pens, golden and silver markers on color paper have created an asemic calligraphy flickering text by handmade writing.
Operation and Interaction
Triptych "Solaris" (The Sun, The Ocean, The Library) looks great as one visual message with the same style of design. As the development of visual communication, the series "J'existe !" contains 11 works about birth, love, eroth, dance, poetry, freedom, logos, music. The idea of decoration could be "antiframe", only glasse frame or acrylic glasse frame.
Project Duration and Location
The project started in January 2018 in Lviv, Ukraine and finished in August 2019 in Lviv Ukraine.
Specifications
700 x 700 x 20 mm. Pen, marker, paper. Handmade calligraphy. No frame.
