Meet Brody Neuenschwander

Brody Neuenschwander is a calligrapher and text artist working in a wide range of media, from paper and canvas to textiles, metal and glass; from sculpture, light and architecture to film, performance and even human skin. He is obsessed with the fleeting nature of language. His work captures words for all time while conceding that they can never be grasped or fully understood. Neuenschwander is a dedicated teacher and has given workshops all over the world. Together with Dox Productions, London, he has recently completed a documentary on the history and future of writing for Arte, BBC and Nova.

Artwork

Visit the galleries to see my 2D and 3D works of art. The life of an artist is one of exploration, doubt, discovery and, on rare occasions, elation. Calligraphy has been my main medium of exploration, but in the galleries for film, media and performance you will see other investigations of text/image/concept.

Commissioning an Artwork

It is possible to commission a work of art and to purchase many of the works you see in the galleries. Feel free to contact me for an open discussion. I have worked with clients all over the world, including filmmakers, fashion designers, institutions, and individuals. If things click, your story becomes my story, resulting in a very personal work of art.

Latest news

My blog will be updated regularly to keep you informed of my ongoing projects. Sometimes I will just ponder out loud about what it means to be a calligrapher in the 21st century. You are welcome to send me questions, which may (you never know) get discussed in the blog.
