Luca Barcellona is 34 years old. He has his own studio in Milan, where he works as a freelance graphic designer and calligrapher. Letters are the main ingredient of his creations. He teaches calligraphy with the Associazione Calligrafica Italiana and holds workshops in several European cities. The means of Luca’s work is to make the manual skill of an ancient art as writing and the languages and instruments of the digital era coexist. In 2003 he founded with Rae Martini and Marco Klefisch the collective Rebel Ink, with which he gives life to a live exhibition of calligraphy, writing and illustration. In 2009, Luca has worked for the National Museum of Zurich, with calligraphist Klaus Peter Schaffel, to realize the faithful reproduction of a big globe dated back to the 1569, using calligraphy with original materials (quill and natural inks). Among the brands that requested his lettering we can number Carhartt, Nike, Mondadori, Zoo York, Dolce&Gabbana, Sony BMG, Seat, Volvo, Universal, Eni.
“Had I told anyone I wanted to be a calligrapher, they
would certainly have thought I was mad. ‘There’s no market for that,’ they’d have said.” - Luca Barcellona
Among Luca’s latest collective exhibitions: “Oscuro Scrutare”, at the Patricia Armocida Gallery in Milan, the project “Some Type of Wonderful” in Melbourne/Sidney and “Don’t Believe the Type” (Den Haag). As well as taking part to several independent projects his works appeared in many publications; the latest were on american magazine “Letter Arts Review”, “Calligraphy and Graphic Design” by Marco Campedelli, and the books “Playful Type 2”, “Los Logos 5” and “Arabesque 2”, published by Gestalten. In 2010 he produced his own personal clothing brand “Luca Barcellona Gold Series”. Luca recently published his first monographic book “Take Your Pleasure Seriously” by Lazy Dog press, the publishing house wich is a member himself. His study into lettering led him to experience from graffiti to classic calligraphy, up to big wallpainting, typography and letterpress printing.
