Susie Leiper: Calligrapher & Painter

One of Britain’s leading calligraphers, Susie is known both for her traditional skills in writing with quills on vellum and for her innovative use of the Chinese brush as a writing tool. Susie’s formative years as a calligrapher were spent in Hong Kong, where she developed her passion for Chinese art and language.

 

Susie also paints in oils, watercolours and ink, sometimes combining painting with calligraphy in the tradition of Chinese art. Much of her work takes the form of handmade artist books.

 

Calligraphy, painting, poetry: the three arts most treasured by the Chinese. Susie aspires to marry western calligraphy, painting and poetry with the spontaneity and harmony of a Chinese master.

李素珊是英国当代著名书法家之一。她以翎毛笔在犊皮上书写的传统技法见长,并以创新手法使用中国毛笔作为书写工具而闻名。素珊在香港开始了她早期的西方书法创作,同时在那里培养了她对中国艺术和语言的热爱。

 

素珊也创作油画、水彩画和墨画。她有时借鉴中国传统艺术的形式,将书法和绘画相结合。她的作品中有不少是纯手工制作的图书。

 

素珊深知书法、绘画和诗词是中国最被推崇的三种艺术,因此她力求将西方书法、绘画和诗词完美融合,从而达到中国艺术名家所追寻的自然与和谐的境界。
