Bridging the gap between typography, calligraphy, graffiti, and fine art, the work of Dutch artist Niels Shoe Meulman (also known as 'Shoe') is effectively a new art form for the twenty-first century, a contemporary expression of writing and design by hand in a predominantly digital age. Calling it 'Calligraffiti,' Meulman launched his cutting-edge art movement in 2007 with a successful solo exhibition in Amsterdam, and he has continued his success with various international exhibitions and museum acquisitions of his images.

Dutch artist Niels Shoe Meulman uses his broom instead of spraypaint or pen to create some beautiful calligraphy on ground level in this video, Sweeping Beauty II. Shot by Adele Renault in Singapore, there is some really good skill coming from the flick of Meulman's wrists. Watch after the jump  . . .
