The exhibition itself, meanwhile, features a number of works that, it seemed to me, were designed as site - specific installations, offering a dynamic and fascinating melding of textural and
calligraphic impulses.
In a similar vein, Dan Flavin's Sailing Across Gardiner's Bay Near Lionhead Beach (lithograph, 1982) uses abstract
calligraphic impulses to picture the mast of a sailboat seemingly perched precariously atop the crest of a wave, conjuring a dramatic sense of frailty and motion through an effective use of negative space.
Keenly attuned to language itself, Sill - man is interested in generating mismatches, disjunctions, and parapraxis from the materiality of
the calligraphic impulse.
Gallery artist Sandra Lerner is the subject of an in - depth article, The Particle and the Wave: Sandra Lerner's Metaphysical Landscapes, Taoism, and
the Calligraphic Impulse in the fall / winter 2016 issue of the «Woman's Art Journal.»
