Jeannine Platz

A homage to handwriting.

For most people today, "writing" tends to mean "typing." On a computer or, preferably, on a mobile phone. Writing by hand is rare. The last bastion of handwriting, however, is that which touches our hearts. From love letters to sympathy cards.

Jeannine Platz, painter, calligrapher and performance artist from Hamburg, celebrates the art of writing.

She sends painted containers around the world, gives the finest porcelain new faces, or paints emotions onto people's bodies.

In her hometown, few words are needed to describe her. Jeannine is a master of handwriting.
