INPRECISION
Inprecision is a series of 100 pieces released as part of Bright Moments London Collection. It explores the tension between the precise and imperfect through a dialogue between a texture inspired by water color paint and an overlay of perfectly precise accentuations of the same shapes.
The series was developed for print, with a particular paper type in mind from the onset. The release leaned into this notion as well, as the live minting used a large format printer for the reveal. No one knew the look of the final piece before it had exited the printer and the gradual reveal over the course of ~15min allowed you to latch on to small details of the composition as they were revealed.
While the colors and the core water color texture works to give the series as a whole a very calm and serene look, the compositions spans from simple to chaotic.
The series draw clear inspiration from early abstract painters. In particular, Wassily Kandinsky had a huge impact on the formation of the core concept, even as it moved closer and closer to the ideas of Suprematism and Kazimir Malevich as the code was refined.
Apart from the exploration of a precise/imperfect tension described above, the series is also an entry into my exploration of generative composition that started with Screens. It is an attempt to, with the lightest hands, to steer a simple system towards varied, engaging, and dynamic compositions
in a manner that is not prescribed in any way. The development started with pure unconstrained randomness and was meticulously steered away from unappealing outputs over the course of months and many iterations, always with the aim to use as few constraints as possible.
This search for composition within generative art will continue for many years to come...
