Motto: Poetry and painting are rooted in the same law, The work of heaven and of the first cause (Su Shi Quotes)
by Tessrose / Art Curator
As you may explore in the Ashmolean Museum Oxford, in the section on East Asian Culture, the flow of creative healing energy of poetry, painting, and calligraphy creates a space for mental retreat to enter into the legacy of the ancient poet Su Shi.
Poetry, Painting, and Calligraphy are called “the Three Perfections” and are considered the highest or culminating point of artistic expression. Artistic Calligraphy, as a visual art, is also a literary mystic art of communicating with stars, the universe, or immortal souls.
These three perfections of healing arts are an ancient mystery of richness and longevity wisdom hidden in 5,000 years of healing calligraphy.
Our Oxoniensis Calligraphy is not just an art form of visual calligraphy; it is a cognitive healing art remedy for body, mind, and brain longevity based on Oxoniensis Research into the Healing Power of Therapeutic Calligraphy and Trauma-Healing Poetry. It is an ancient therapeutic meditative practice of cognitive healing arts for mindfulness and peace of mind through artful writing to remedy traumatic stress, for self-expression, and self-recovery for cognitive longevity.
