Massimo Polello - Latest Works 2010



For five full days this coming July I am taking part in the summer series art program at Red Deer College where I will study with internationally acclaimed calligrapher and designer Massimo Polello of Turin, Italy. My course is titled The Invention of the Alphabet. In this course, students will create an entirely new alphabet from personally inspired shapes and forms.

I scooped this elegant and expressive video off of YouTube hoping it will give viewers insight into this artist's dynamic approach to mark making and symbols.

To view this video one requires a minimum of Adobe Flash Player 10.2, available on-line as a free download.

Wow, you've been busy while I was gone! Love your scrolling post as well as Massimo's. I'm in Gibsons in July for Liz Wiltzen/Robert Genn so it will be great to compare notes.
