MEDIUM: Digital Illustrations
DESCRIPTION:
Fractals may be the cutest subjects that capture both science and art’s view. Yet most artworks concerning fractals are abstract digital art. In this series of multi-media artworks, I combine photos, digital paintings, fractal fires generated in a software called Apophysis, and also some images produced by me in Mathematica to create a flavor of figurative art that features fractal elements.
It’s widely observed that the work of nature sometimes follows fractal rules, such as the structure of plants and the texture of landform. If we jump out from this scientific view and embrace the aesthetic perspective of fractal fires, I find that they seem to convey a much broader image of concrete objects. When I first played around with fractals and generated a picture with some random parameters, I was so amazed that it looked so much like feathers seen under a microscope. And that’s the beginning of everything you see here…
