Neoillusionist Calligraphy
Artist Statement
My whole body is my brush, when I paint it is not just words that come out through the calligraphy, it is the meaning of my existence. It is the way my whole being understands and sees the world.
When I write the words what I seek and reveal is the transparency of meaning.
The way the single word can give variety of interpretation through the gestural understanding of my internal mood.
I am the Brush and the brush is Me.
The Ink is my Spirit that flows out of me every Instant.
The Paper is the filed of my Life.
When the work is done, it is only the imprint of what has been - a fleeting after taste it is what left behind. It becomes a memory, a collection.

"She has added to us a different kind of calligraphic art within the tradition. Her starting points
and transition points are very novel. It reveals to us an absolutely new vision of calligraphy
through life itself, as well in the practice of Zen, from the very source of the universe. The
composition and layout are in one perfect breath. I particularly feel that her stamp is distinct with
very interesting characteristic. For the first time since I have studied calligraphy in 55 years, I
have never seen such a big stamp, very impressive. It is very creative, extremely creative, and it
is very, very good! We are in the 21st century, calligraphy art needs to be expressed in a style of
the times, her artwork coincides with her red seal, which is particularly novel, and she has brought
Chinese calligraphy to an unprecedented level in her writing. That is the very meaning of
the exhibition of art. Red Square’s calligraphy is absolutely unusual work of an outstanding quality
for the New York art scene. There are 60,000 artists in New York. 60 years ago, most artist from
the whole world go to Paris to live, now they have all moved to New York, all kinds of art forms
and various artistic expression techniques can be found in New York City, but artwork like
Red Square’s, for the first time, it gave us a very new and fresh feeling. Wet ink and dry ink, she
writes very naturally, and the combination is just right, between the line and the stroke she is not
affected by the traditional style of writing, but also forms the structure of her own kind of
understanding. In her calligraphy, the arrangement between space and words is very natural and
authentic, each word, each line is full of spirit and good energy."
