As a painter and craftsman, Vincent de Boer searches for poetry and nuance in the calligraphic line. He explores the limits of language by asking whether a single letter can tell a complete story and whether one line can open up an entire universe. Fascinated by the traces left behind by movement, he investigates self-imposed technical challenges. While calligraphy is primarily known as a means of shaping text, De Boer is more interested in the mystical contradictions it contains: the depth of a flat surface, a transcendental sense of time and an elusive tactility.
