For me to be Calligraphy and not merely geometric art with letter shapes it has to be legible at some level; even the calligrafitti styles can be read for the most part. While I can't speak to the Arabic and Russian letter forms; I did find it too baroque, too ornate, too layered to convey a message. If it can't be read it isn't calligraphy anymore, it's art. It is pretty, but it isn't calligraphy. Don't mistake me, this is absolutely gorgeous for what it is. It is good to push a format beyond the bounds of the conventional and for artists to test the limits of their abilities. However at some point it isn't what it started as and needs a new category. This is Letterform Art henceforth refered to as LFA.
Jack Nemo absolutely what I think with the exact same words. We see this letter forms but it does not fit in the deep signification of the word "calligraphy". This could not be compared to words that are made to express ideas and thoughts. Calligraphy is not abstract, or you must to remove the "graphy" off. Amazing job at all!!! Incredibly beautiful and wonderful, by the way... For this art we have a word that fits more comfortable, it is "calligram", but even not so...
I don't know why people put so much rules... Calligraphy means literally: beautiful writing
I dunno man, Arabic calligraphy in particular has always been hard to read, with more emphasis on composition rather than the legibility of the text. It's part of the beauty of this art form imo.
Jack Nemo I do speak Russian. And yes, it’s very difficult to see it clearly, but you CAN see some words in it’s most abstract form. Thus, it is still calligraphy. If you want to have a clear understanding of what is written, you probably should pay more close attention to typography, in my very humble opinion.
Beyond Amazing!!!!!!! So happy to have seen this!!! Thank you!!!

Beautiful...
R.I.P. NORM LOVE LETTERS 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
That's a really amazing work actually there were more than one language, I saw an Arabic and English words
and Russian ( in the works of Lampas. He often quotes Malevich's Manifesto, and always puts meaning in the text... )
Wooooow!!!...they are the gods of the modern calligraphy...awesome and wonderfull masterpieces. As the phrase says: "Calligraphy is music for the eyes"...
Can anyone tell me that do all that works have meaning?or they mean nothing but just beautiful strokes?
HAhahah lol!! Do you think something random can look that beautiful? Of course it has a meaning ;)
I mean the Literal Meaning,like,they are some poems?or Lyrics?or scripture? :-)
Lampas often writes in his works quotes of artists and poets. Here's an example of his work: yadi.sk/d/nOEGPq7rF9tv-w Here we have a quote from the poet Mayakovsky "I know the power of words." The quote is written in Cyrillic:
Я Я Я ( I I I )
З Н А Ю (Know)
С И Л У (Power)
С Л О В (Words)
Don’t get me wrong that right there is on point! But how would one read it? I really would like to know.🤔
any one of these guys make a font pack ?
asking fora friend "wink" wink:!!

I would term this "Graffiti" somewhat except its far from "illicit" ! but it seems to fit the graffiti definition more than the Calligraphic? "Beauty"Calla - "Writing" Graphic ....hmm, maybe a combo & new found Art Style !

@tipocali
Não sei se vc já assistiu essa arte urbana, mas vale muito a pena!
what about astro?
Muito loko
What about Chaz Bojorquez? I don't feel this list should be without him.
Wow wow wow. I wish it went slower to really study each form at
Cuál es el nombre de este estilo de caligrafía?
There is no name!! Each style of the 5 five artists is self developed with the time...
No están usando si quiera un alfabeto propiamente dicho, sino formas de letras para realizar sus composiciones. De ahí viene su arte.
Hi friends,
If you are looking to get your own art website or portfolio please message me for more information and demos.
wow, no mention of chaz bojorquez, who created this whole movement.
nope there where gangster getting down even before him......you rookie
@@anonymousmc7727 he still created this art movement...you fucking loser.
@@alexgray8804 your not from the street.....and no he didt....ask him hell tell you silly white boy
@@anonymousmc7727 Whiteboy? with your drive-thru reviewing ass. Hah everybody knows who you are up in the antique stores right ese. We know how you be holding it down on them crazy yard sale callés ese.

No retna?

Pokras in the thumbnail gives a bigboss vibes . ..
heeey!!! where is RETNA???
))))
Pokras Lampas i like his work too bro, but i thought is more writers stuff and less of Calligraphy strokes, but may be I'm not that much familiar with all his works.
Почему так недооценивают Криптика? Блин его работы по дереву уникальны, мой топ.....Покрас, а тебе реально нравится семья Кардашьян, в частности Кайли Дженнер? Видел твой лайк по этому поводу
Lmao retna originated this style... Actually LA gángsters originated this but retna def ..
I wonder how pokras lampas made all those small circles in his quite fascinating.🤔
I can never read those calligraphies 😑👌
Luca Barcellona bro

Pokras lampas and cryptik
No Chaz no Retna no Defer. NO MAS.
These are Arabic fonts
Caligraffity is perfect ....👍

Patroes
Some of these guys are amazingly skilled, but they seem stuck anyway.
i think i saw an "S" .. and maybe an "E".... . .
Check out astro from odv crew he blows all these guys away
@@bradleyxavier4066 nope, I've asked him personally and he doesn't make letters 😉 I asked him when was creating this video with the idea to add him too, but no letters...
I have purchased 2 different canvases from astro that both clearly say astro....lol I think he may be pulling your leg
The only problem with these calligraphy artists is that their works are all alike and you get bored within 5 minutes of seeing one of their pieces.

There's a disproportion in grand circle, definitely
very beautiful, interact with me
Only legible writing can be called calligraphy. These works are abstractions, albeit very beautiful but still only an abstraction.
Totally agree they are works of art to be sure but not calligraphy. They are very talented.
