Silent Words
At the beginning of this series lies the invention of illegible characters and new calligraphic instruments specifically designed for rendering these symbols. Each piece is named after the main instrument used to write it.
These new calligraphic tools are modelled on familiar pen nibs, pencils and markers in function, but are redesigned for the act of writing with sand, pigments, or liquids. The ritual of writing is reduced to a few… fundamental materials and actions, which converge on the picture plane in a unique experiment with the forces of gravity and speed of the gestures executed. The traces of this process constitute the image.
Lucas Stolz (*1985 in Basel, Switzerland) understands calligraphy as a painterly act. Writing as a developmental process for images in which words dissolve, signs as traces of a body that writes, where it could also paint.
In his work, he explores four fundamental levels of handwriting: the invention and transformation of signs; continuous writing, which, through repetition, makes humanity visible; the development of custom writing tools, that shape the stroke; and the analysis and repurposing of materials from writing cultures, leading to experiments with sand, pigments and wood.
The artist develops tools and techniques that are idiosyncratic, almost defiant. They demand physical effort, they distort, chop, and multiply the stroke—giving it temperament. This process highlights the question of authorship: Who is writing here—the hand, the tool, or the surface?
