Favourite Art

This is my digitised art collection. There’s so much incredible art and beauty in the world. Here’s some of my favourite pieces, mainly because they’d ‘resonated’ with me at some time or another.

Christina’s World (Andrew Wyeth, 1948)
Relativity (M.C. Escher, 1953)

I was actually reading the inflight safety card for what do in an emergency once and I started to realise I really enjoyed the style of illustration. I like its clarity and precision but its a hard style to describe. Eventually, I grouped similar styles as isometric illustrations and the piece below is an example of the style I enjoy.

I really enjoy Fractal Art. I think the first paragraph on the Wikipedia article gives a succinct explanation of the art. “Fractal art is a form of algorithmic art created by calculating fractal objects and representing the calculation results as still digital images, animations, and media. Fractal art developed from the mid-1980s onwards.[2] It is a genre of computer art and digital art which are part of new media art. The mathematical beauty of fractals lies at the intersection of generative art and computer art. They combine to produce a type of abstract art.”
