In Search of Inspiration

The Art of James Tan

Is already an abstraction. When I create a new image, I take this abstraction one step further by using only the calligraphic components of lines and dots.

The secret of calligraphy lies is mastery of the brush. The calligrapher is like an opera singer; he must master his voice.

 

Calligraphy is like singing with the brush. Everyday I sing with the brush-usually in the early morning between the hours of 5 and 7. Fortunately, I don disturb my neighbours!
