Chinese calligraphy exhibit at the Crane Library

Chinese calligraphy

The calligraphy of Chinese artist Chen Peibin will be on display from May 1 to 31 in the Coletti Reading Room of the Thomas Crane Public Library, 40 Washington St., Quincy.

Chen Peibin was born in the city of Liuzhou, Guangxi province in 1949. He began to practice writing calligraphy with his father at the age of seven. Over the past five decades, Mr. Chen has concentrated on the study of Chinese calligraphy, and has pioneered three innovations: “human body calligraphy”, “one-stroke calligraphy” and the “carapace-bone impression”. He has developed a unique personal style that integrates the Chinese poetic and artistic imagination with a new visual feeling.
