abstract

The geometries of these reliefs are vocabulary, and their random permutation is syntax. Following this formal language, an unlimited number of variations can be obtained, where each relief is just a sample of the infinite plane of possibilities.

text

The permutations are a series of unique reliefs exploring the tessellation of a surface in divisions and subdivisions. By combining a rule-based approach with randomness, the work formalises the artist’s concept of random order.

Painted in 'Superblack', the work unfolds a new dimension; from a distance, it appears as a perfect black monochrome that only reveals its relief when approached, like a visual enigma that partially reveals its meaning.
