LO – Randomness

Manolo Gamboa Noan is an Argentinian generative artist who is known for his bright and chaotic images. According to Manolo’s bio on an art collection website, he focuses on exploring such dichotomies as chaotic v.s. ordered, organic v.s. artificial, and random v.s. controlled.

I am drawn to the piece “Mantel Rojo” because of the bright, jarring presence it has. Even though it is made entirely within the bounds of a computer, something we usually subconsciously consider to be cold and lifeless, the image is full of warmth and life. The randomness that Manolo plays with makes the image more real and expressive, making the audience feel as though there is a natural element to the image.
