Carrying Tradition in a Digital World
An inspirational presentation incorporating both traditional and avant-garde calligraphyFriday, May 14 2010 7 p.m.
Location: PCC Sylvania Campus • Building ST Room 101
This FREE presentation is sponsored by The Portland Society for Calligraphy
Denis will show a wide range of his recent work, using it to discuss the meaning for him of being a scribe in the twenty first century. The multimedia presentation will include several short movies punctuating live discussion. Not to be missed!
Ireland's rich heritage of ancient calligraphy in manuscripts such as The Book of Kells was inspiration for Denis Brown as a schoolboy. Later, his rigorous formal training in traditional calligraphy was at London's Roehampton Institute with Ann Camp. Now his work explodes from, and extends, those traditions in the form of innovative modern works of art. Widely travelled with his work, he has lectured, and won awards and commissions on four continents, and is internationally recognised as a world leader in the field of letter arts.
