Generative Design Studies

The Generative Design Studies series draws inspiration from the foundations of geometric abstraction and op art, paying homage to renowned artists like Bridget Riley, Victor Vasarely, and Richard Anuszkiewicz.

The aim is to examine how basic, static shapes and different perspectives can create the impression of warped space, captivating the viewer and directing their gaze. This process blurs the distinction between three-dimensional and two-dimensional spaces within the artwork.

Building on this is the introduction of an autonomous generative system, through a self-coded algorithm that can randomly rearrange shapes within a grid, including lines, circles, squares, and triangles, while also varying their points of origin, adding dimensions to the work whilst also creating an infinite number of artworks.

From these outputs, the artist has carefully curated a selection, to then offer a meticulous rendering on paper by using a pen plotter.
