Scarlet is a pretty color and a powerful word.
A Rhode Island-born, San Francisco-based Ornamental Calligrapher, Hunter Saxony III investigates love and loss, mortality, preservation, and the discovery of self. His work is presented with a signature palette of red and black brush strokes paired with a confident mark-making identity. His lifelong penchant for written words can also be seen in a minimalist version of storytelling that invites the viewer to consider just as much as it asks for understanding. Saxony employs shape, form, and text to present a delicate and sometimes visceral look into the human condition.
His works have been collected by The Letterform Archive and the Richard Harrison Collection of Calligraphy & Lettering at the San Francisco Public Library, San Francisco, CA
