The Moment of the Flying Brush - Kaohsiung City Bird-and-Insect Script Calligraphy Association Sixth Member Joint Exhibition

'The Moment of the Flying Brush' draws inspiration from the instant the brush is wielded for writing, intertwining the dynamic postures of Bird-and-Insect Script with fleeting moments of life. Each stroke carries the writer's insights and state of mind at a specific moment, making the characters the most vivid traces left in the flow of time.
Bird-and-Insect Script calligraphy is a writing style from traditional Chinese culture dating back two thousand years. Mr. Chao Chao-i (趙朝儀), a senior licentiate of the Ch'ing dynasty, passed on Bird-and-Insect Script calligraphy to Mr. Chao Mu-ho (趙慕鶴), who could write it.
Its brush technique forms its own system, with each stroke imitating the postures of birds—spreading wings, level flight, side flight, diving, soaring, standing posture, finishing tail... a myriad of charming and interesting forms.
The association was officially registered and established in 2010. Up to now, under the leadership of Honorary Chairman K'o Wen-k'uei (柯文逵), all members have tirelessly promoted this picturesque script, elevating the art of Bird-and-Insect Script calligraphy to a new realm. We take this exhibition opportunity to fully showcase it to everyone, hoping to receive your applause.
