Complexity Arises

Generative computer art has been fascinating me during the last few weeks. After seeing the sublime beauty of German artist Holger Lippmann’s painterly pieces I was inspired to have a go myself. I’m learning the ropes still, and a long way off from creating work as dense and beautiful as Andy Gilmore’s.

My first attempt at my own style I have called ‘Complexity Arises’ because thats exactly what happens when you start playing around with simple geometry and repeat the patterns over and over again in a mathematical way. I’m intrigued at the forms that arise from simple shapes. Art imitating life again maybe?
