Transmission was initially composed using generative code in P5js (as opposed to my usual method of using Photoshop to compose the outline). 

The image was then painted using the Gouache brushes in Corel Painter. I like the way these paints change in colour slightly as they dry (even the digitally simulated ones) - it creates a more organic feel for me.

The image originally had 900 squares but I recomposed it in Corel Painter to remove 12 squares, giving it a total of 888 squares. 

Additional tweaks (mainly the signature placement) were made in Photoshop. 

As always if you print it out and put it on your wall please show me on my Twitter at https://twitter.com/a5ht4r - I would love to see it.

Use as you please for non commercial purposes but please give credit. If you want to use for anything else please contact me on Twitter.

NB: As always no guarantees are made for future value - please enjoy the art.

Transmission

A gift for Swati. Uses a custom palette chosen by her.

Transform

One of my favourite pieces from the Lcypherart project. This is a highly textured piece created in Corel Painter.

If my memory is not mistaken this was inspired by textures in stone - cave walls, granite tiles and the like.

This is an extra special edition mint as a reward for my original (genesis) collectors on the Lcypherart account.

Sadly at the time my computing resources did not allow super high resolutions with the complex texture brushes used here so while the resolution is fine for computer displays, it may need some upscaling before printing.

You can do this yourself, or contact me at my main twitter account (https://twitter.com/a5ht4r) and I can do it for you.

I hope you like it:)

Fugue #4/5

"Order out of chaos, or is it chaos out of order?"

This piece took several weeks to make due to the application of many layers to achieve the textured effects. I had to keep flattening the layers to save memory and make the file manageable.

In all I would estimate there are over 100 layers making this up.

Unfortunately due to this, the constraints of my computer at the time and some of the limitations of the complex brushes used, the resolution is limited to 3000 x 2000.

It does seem to respond well to AI enlargement so if you do wish to print it at large sizes, you may want to explore that before printing. If you do print it out and put it on your wall please show me on my Twitter at https://twitter.com/a5ht4r - I would love to see it.

This is probably my favourite of all the @lcypherart paintings, I originally minted this on Known Origin as Manifold did not exist at the time.

Unfortunately due to injuring my eye soon afterwards I was not able to promote it as I would have liked and it was never really seen by anyone.

With it sitting unsold I decided that I would burn it and remint it on my own contract.

I really hope you like it:)

Emerge

Three words, 
hidden but near,

A language sparse, 
yet still clear,

A puzzle to solve,  
- and revere.

Three Word Puzzle

Sixth painting in the minimal abstract series - "Seven".

This uses a dark aquatic harmony for its palette.

A special mint to celebrate the successful Ethereum Shapella upgrade on the 12th of April 2023 at block height 6209536.

Shapella

A5ht4r Minimal

One of my favourite pieces of computer art is the cover of the Joy Division album - "Unknown Pleasures". I wanted to explore something similiar in a modern way but using a combination of hand painting and computer transformation. The intial painting was done in Corel Painter and then transformed in Photoshop to something which looks completely unrelated to the starting painting.

10,000 x 10,000 pixels. 

If you print it out and put it on your wall please show me on my Twitter at https://twitter.com/a5ht4r - I would love to see it.

NB: As always no guarantees are made of value. This is just for fun.

Strange Portraits

A thread to find your way out of the Labyrinth.

Ariadne's Thread

Gaily bedight,  
A gallant knight,  
In sunshine and in shadow,  
Had journeyed long,  
Singing a song,  
In search of Eldorado.

But he grew old—  
This knight so bold—  
And o'er his heart a shadow  
Fell as he found  
No spot of ground  
That looked like Eldorado.

And, as his strength  
Failed him at length,  
He met a pilgrim shadow—  
"Shadow," said he,  
"Where can it be—  
This land of Eldorado?"

"Over the Mountains  
Of the Moon,  
Down the Valley of the Shadow,  
Ride, boldly ride,"  
The shade replied—  
"If you seek for Eldorado!"

-by Edgar Allan Poe.

Fugue #1/5

Works from previous projects or new works that do not fit into my current minimal abstract style.

Alternative works

An urban explorer finds a tattered wooden box hidden in the wall of one of the rooms of an abandoned hospital.

Inside the box she finds this image. 

There is some text scrawled in black marker on the back.

The text says: "the curse" and there are some numbers, - probably a date - "22/11/56". There is nothing else with the image and nothing further to explain its meaning.

Ephemeral Objects

Dim light, a fading CRT screen and a broken joystick. 

Dim light, a fading CRT screen and a broken joystick. The joy of early gaming bathed in the glow of early childhood nostalgia. That is "Arcade".
