Name
William Mapan—Bain de Couleurs
Description
Bain de couleurs (process 9),
2023.
There's no such thing as digital artists. Mapan sees only artists. The medium is not as important as the human behind.
"Bain de couleurs" is the first oil painting he's showing publicly the world (outside of his sketchbooks, personal paintings or commissions)
While Mapan is known primiraly for his digital native generative artwork, here he's changing the way he uses the machine.
In this instance, Mapan developed an algorithm as a way to search for an output to paint the same way one could use a search engine. Except Mapan made the universe to search into.
With this techniques combination, Mapan is able to dive into his love for algorithm but also put into practice his love for pigments and color mixing.
The piece includes: a digital version along with 12 process pieces (all minted on the same contract) and an oil painting version (150x100cm)
