The Renaissance of Pen and Ink – Exhibition of Calligraphy and Lettering Art by Aquino da Silva
Aquino is one of the few artists using English calligraphy creatively. With a graphic design background, he became fascinated with the beauty of hand painting, the different paper textures, traces and variations of pen strokes, and even the strength applied by different parts of the body. After a few years’ practice, he has brought English calligraphy into commercial use, thus giving the art more exposure.
