Joanne Chui – Looking Outwards – 06

What is extremely interesting about Manolo’s art is that he basically mimics certain design logic of existing paintings, but with a twist. He reduces the paintings into their simplest geometries, and with that pieces back the painting through code and algorithms to produce a fresh and more modern version of the precedents. Manolo manages to keep the spirit and core of each art piece but putting a more computation spin onto them. It is really interesting to see how minute changes in variables can produce such beautiful and unique artworks, and in a way makes the art more accessible to viewers by having a more recognizable methodology of computation.
