Take your pleasure seriously

Take Your Pleasure Seriously is the monograph that tells the story of Luca Barcellona — one of the most influential calligraphers and lettering artists on the international scene. The book gathers over a decade of work: from calligraphic performances to projects for global brands such as Nike, Dolce&Gabbana and Carhartt, alongside previously unpublished personal pieces. More than a document of a body of work, it articulates a method — that of someone who has moved fluidly between Carolingian and Gothic scripts, spray can and quill, forging a radically contemporary visual language. With contributions by Charles ‘Chaz’ Bojórquez, Giovanni De Faccio and Nicola ‘Dee Mo’ Peressoni.
