This week I took a look at Tyler Hobbs, a generative artist who utilizes randomness in his work. His project “Waves” is a generative piece made for one of four interior murals for a single client. This piece focuses on water and its fragmented nature. Each shape is a different color, but they come together as a very cohesive piece. I suppose that he uses a program to create these different lines that curve and bend on different generated paths. I would assume that at certain coordinates within the canvas, he changes the shades of blue and uses some random function to create spots/highlights of pink. The curves seem to resemble that of a sin or cos wave. The quality of water is very apparent in this piece, and I think that the artist was able to create a very clear abstract representation of water.
