Landscape #10

Description

Suiboku-ga is an art form that is painted all at once, making full use of the materials and the vigor of the brush. The improvisational approach to perfection, without modification and making positive use of unpredictable results, is common to contemporary painting and resonates with the spirit of generative art. The shade of the ink is controlled by the amount of water. The tonality of Suiboku-ga is formed not by the brightness but by the transparency of the sumi ink caused by the water. This characteristic creates the individuality of Suiboku-ga and forms the concept of painting with only one color of sumi ink. This work also uses the multilayered transparency created by the codes to depict a landscape that blends into the haze. This work was created in JavaScript code using p5.js. The landscape is drawn solely by code, applying oriental perspective. What is generated is not the form of the plant in 3D, but a 2D iconography. This is an attempt to express the abstract perspective of landscape painting as seen in ink painting by using codes. The image is drawn as a square with one side the length of the browser's short side. The result is resized to the size of the browser, and the image size also changes with the browser zoom. Press the S key to download a png file of the resized image. The image depicts pine trees in the mist, hazy mountains and trees in the distance, and azaleas in the foreground. I hope that the monochrome tones will remind you of the colorful landscape of spring in Japan.
