Follow on Google News | ![]() On Exhibit: Linework, A Group Exhibition of 16 Postwar to Emerging ArtistsBy: SEI-RIN Co., Ltd. About Linework The crux of Linework stems from the fundamental role of lines. Inspired by the ideas of the avant-garde calligrapher, Nankoku Hidai, the exhibition's premise originates from his notion of "Shin sen (spirit line)". Nankoku, who argued that "the essence of ...calligraphy is the expression which depends on a disciplined stroke regardless of the medium", viewed the lines as a full and sufficient vehicle for expression. Forging the avant-garde calligraphy movement, Nankoku broke away from orthodox traditions and launched an unprecedented and continued wave of innovation. With this, Linework invites viewers to re-examine the act of drawing through the role of the line. The deceptively simple act of line-making is a crucial device that can differ greatly upon how, where, and when its drawn. A continuation of Hidai's lifelong endeavor, Linework was planned with the hopes of breaking past conventions for the development of new, liberated modes of thought and expression. Addressing the line as an unbound expression of infinite possibility, Linework welcomes viewers to discover the point at which the line turns to art. Exhibition Highlights
