Gratefully this series starts with 5 commissioned works for the Decentralised Art Fund ’ALFA’ and @Kyloren_NFT (`LF 001' - 'LF 005'). For the first time Golden lacquer is added to a minimalist color scheme of Red, Black & White. Expressive lacquer pouring is followed by subtle manual postprocessing. The lacquer flow generates experimental organic shapes, movement and color overlaps within a very long drying process. 
Cutout photographs - creating new independent artworks - are overlayed with a digital pattern. The series will consist of max. 15 pieces ('LF 001' - 'LF 015'), minted via Manifold.

*This digital collectible is **artist curated and paired with a signed painting**, included in price. More info below.*

This series is a collaborative study on vectors and space, exploring the intersection of generative and intuitive, digital and physical, robotic and human. Alejandro and Anna engage on a creative game between artist and machine: creative coding, digital curating, pen-plotting, physical taping and spraying in several steps. A game of rules and interpretation, typology and intuition, all starting from the most simplest idea: the intersection of vectors.


What kind of serial artworks can be created by the clash of two vectors? What happens when layers of vectors meet and intersect? What are the vectors, and the space in-between, how are they arranged, are they dense, loose, well organised or chaotically laid? Is it possible to find a logic, to create some rules? Can we create individual, intuitive artworks following logical, automatic systems? How do we combine digital and physical?
 

Alejandro created a generative algorithm and a tool to curate vector arrangements in overlapping steps. The tool randomly defines a set of vectors and produces an underlying grid with hatches and rectangles that follow a simple rule agreed by the two artists: a rectangle appears once the vectors intersect, a hatch is created when the vectors meet within the grid subdivisions.


Anna selected a set of 53 iterations, fine-tuning the smallest details. The selection was plotted on paper by Alejandro. She then followed the second agreed rule: to connect the start and end points of the vectors in preset steps, and to make a painting out of it. What’s the size of the colourfield? How are the painting-borders, the size of the vectors and the colourfields? With different taping methods and the use of spray paint, she found a big field of possibilities, full of potential and unpredictability.


A generative algorithm produces a random output following an underlying logic. \
The artists react to it, intuitively leading it to completion. 
 

It is by no means different than the inhabitant creating a place within the architect’s logical system, finding a way to live in a meaningful in-betweenness. “On the other side of the subjective, on this side of the objective, on the narrow borderline where I and you meet lies the In-between Realm”.

Red Shapes is a geometric study between shape and
space.

The series is inspired by a random collection of studio paper
leftovers - used as a background for spray-paint works with
an interesting spatial effect.

For the digital series I chose a very minimalist set of
geometric elements, layered and arranged them in different
ways finding new surprising shapes and rhythm. 

The appearance of the outputs is intentionally very digital
and raw, on one hand reminding of harmonic Bauhaus
design, vertical architecture or ground plans - but on the
other hand it has an aggressive expression, asking
questions between materiality and immateriality, physical
and digital space, or even challenging the logic of digital:
everywhere but nowhere

Lacquer Sculptures is a playful study between repetition, intuition and natural colour flow. It’s a study about shape, composition, color transparencies and interaction. The work combines the artist's architectural background as in designing sculptures with her experimental painting practice.

Lacquer Sculptures (physicals) exhibited in 'ON/OFF SCREEN' by VERTICAL Nov. 2023

My second minimalist generative token is about a ’Shape of 2’. 
2 vertical sets of fine lines create ONE sculpture. The left versus the right side can be either mirrored, show similar or even oppositional expressions - depending on the generated length of the horizontal lines. A ’Shape of 2’ might remind one of a classic vase, a river or a sculpture - depending on its body language.
