Jameson Yap MINDFULNESS Calligraphy Solo Exhibition is happening at L124 from 15th May onwards.

About Jameson Yap, the Calligraphy artist

Trained by his emigrant grandfather who arrived in Malaysia in the 1940’s, JY learned the artform under his tutelage and influence practicing on newspapers to perfect his stroke and calligraphic sensibility.

30 years of practice has led to the invention of JY’s singularly unique style, inspired by the flow of water in a river. He calls this form the River Stroke 流書.

A moving body of water is a powerful thing, yet it can find the path of least resistance around the hardest obstacles in its path to find its way. Water has the power to flow. Fluid and flowing the river achieves it will, always finding its way to its destination.

His endeavour is to show that calligraphy can be a creative, communicative, and emotionally expressive artform as opposed to purely placing emphasis on the style of writing. Through flow, gesture and emotion he hopes to express the distinctive style and influences of a Malaysian upbringing through his art.

This round, Jameson Yap invites you to immerse yourself in his mindfulness series. Wander in each character that’s channelled through his signature River Strokes and bask yourself in the strength and beauty of the flow. 

書法大師 - 葉彥晨簡介

書法底蘊師承於1940年南下來到馬來西亞的爺爺。JY 葉彥晨汲取爺爺的教誨，沈浸在筆墨揮毫中。時間的河孕育生命千姿百態，亦同樣孕育了JY 葉彥晨在書法世界裡的靈氣和韻味。學習書法30載，他領略書法的博大精深，自創出「流書」River Stroke，以河流中的流水為靈感，繼續讓「流書」創作風格與世界對話。

水的流動時而柔軟但卻堅韌。滴水成河，匯河成海。

水的流動讓他感受書法藝術帶來的無盡能量，就如藝術作品能無遠弗屆地流傳。他冀望通過流動的情感讓作品與欣賞者產生連接，藉由書法藝術讓不同國界的人士看到來自馬來西亞獨特的書法藝術風格。

This round, Jameson Yap invites you to immerse yourself in his mindfulness series. Wander in each character that’s channeled through his signature River Strokes and bask yourself in the strength and beauty of the flow. 

Keep calm, observe and appreciate. 

Here’s an invitation to discover not only art, but your inner self and emotion. Regardless whether it calms you down or stirs up emotion, this is the best opportunity to kick-start a deep dialogue between *your what you see and how you feel.

此次，JY葉彥晨邀您在書海世界中，沈浸地一遍一遍欣賞「靜。觀」系列。徜徉在以流書繪出的文字裡，感受筆墨流動的力與美。

沈澱心情，好好地，靜觀。

赴一場藝術之邀，讓我們察覺內在的情感流動，是平靜、是翻騰，那都是一次讓視覺與心靈展開深度對話的機會。
