The artwork titled “Calligraphy Practice,” created by the artist Pierra, was completed in 2022. This pen sketch falls under the Lettrism art movement and belongs to the genre of sketch and study. It is part of the series “Sketches & Mini-Drawings.”
The artwork primarily consists of a playful arrangement of the lowercase alphabet rendered in red ink. Each letter is uniquely styled with patterns such as stripes, crosshatches, and zigzags, creating a rich texture within the composition. The letters appear to be overlapping and interacting with one another, which adds a dynamic and cohesive flow to the piece. Along the left side of the artwork, the title “Calligraphy practice” has been written vertically, also in red ink, providing a contextual anchor to the intricate letterforms. The piece is set on a torn piece of paper, contributing to its informal and immediate aesthetic, characteristic of a study or practice sketch.
